Hold out your hand and catch each other. Who are we without one another?
Join + Be EQALL®
I have seen smart people do evil things — no EQ. No compassion. No empathy.
Where IQ fails, EQ steps in.
Ideally, of course, in combination. I truly believe the world needs more people who build instead of harm.
Just look around…
Kindness + Love is a SUPERPOWER in a world filled with abuse, agression and dominance. Be EQALL®
LOVE. With healthy boundaries, of course.
Because the way we relate to ourselves ultimately shapes the way we relate to others.
And business? A human matter, so it’s all personal in the end.
Yet, nothing is personal, as behavior says more about the people who hurt others than it does about you.
To me, real collective growth happens when people and businesses
Stop asking only: “What can I get?” and start asking: “What can we build together that genuinely matters?”
Yet, I'm not my labels, nor my 5+ diplomas, nor my traumas or my wins.
I'm not my life story. Yet...
It did shape the WHY behind EQALL®
So I share...
Not ashamed.
Not anymore...
After working 10+ years in academia, corporate consulting, and mental health awareness and 20+ years in the creative industry:
🌎 Building EQALL® for our collectives. Life is short. No time to waste.
The labels and a story...
My name is Dorottya Éva Kiss. Born in Budapest (Hungary-EU), It wasn't easy, so I "escaped"... at least I thought. :)
I've spent over half my life in The Netherlands (USA / EU / Canada).
I found my calling in the arts sector, followed by social and communication sciences.
I never stopped searching for meaning. Also not when I returned after three decades.
"I'am a meaning-maker"...
I have seen so much personal and societal darkness that there is no other livable way, than 💜
Who am I? First and foremost:
... a human being in continuous development. I keep on learning and I share, while creating and holding space for others.
I deeply believe in the power of growth and the supportive presence of attentive care. "The Power of Now" (Eckhart Tolle).
There were times when my very being fractured and shattered,
... experiencing scenarios akin to the most gripping psychological thrillers.
In essence? I broke down. I was reborn, not once, but several times, each time rewiring myself.
And remarkably... I'm not only still here, even more surprisingly, I'm smiling. And I genuinely enjoy life.
I had a challenging start,
thus much of my adulthood became about understanding why I kept repeating certain patterns and how I could finally stop them.
Resilience has become my specialty. + EQ besides IQ
My life experience, solidified my commitment to physical, mental, and spiritual healing.
Integrating arts, creativity, sciences and mental health awareness.
My background spans BA and MA in Cultural Economics, Cultural Sociology, Social Psychology, and I served as an Arts, Culture, Media and Communication Science University Lecturer at Erasmus University of Rotterdam. Concurrent with and following these academic pursuits, I dedicated 30 years to a career as a BA Dance Artist, Director-Choreographer in the Netherlands. My professional training includes several certified qualifications: an NLP Practitioner qualification, advanced Master NLP communication (NL, UK), positive psychology studies (USA), and a social and emotional intelligence coach qualification (NL). I also hold a qualification and certificate in the Hellinger Family Constellation method, I am a certified Aquakontakt® Movement Meditation Therapy practitioner. Furthermore, years ago, I completed the postgraduate course in Mental Hygiene Assistance at the Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of Károli Gáspár Reformed University. Yet, I repeat: I'm not my labels. I needed to make sense of all the challenges. Surely, EQALL® benefits from all this.
Frankly? I almost left this life a few times. And once I recovered, I repeated my childhood patterns again.
Unconsciously, of course.
Terrible, one might say. And some people might have given up.
Yet, the deepest challenges taught me how to love. Deeply. There was — and is — no other choice. Live Love or die…
Well we all will, sooner or later. Die.
No need to sugarcoat this either. Often we forget though.
Having an interdisciplinary and solution oriented approach towards life, while having had the challenges...
My friends say my story could be a Hollywood blockbuster, starring Sandra Bullock or Julia Roberts, filled with dramatic twists and turns.
Instead, I chose a different path: Building EQALL® for (y)our collectives, to level up EQ into our everday life...
My journey of continuous learning about myself, people, society,
and the world filled with traumas and healing (why sugarcoat it) has revealed many insights.
I continue to work at the crossroads of creativity and sciences all with a focus on individual mental health awareness and support that has a natural spillower effect to societal well-being. That's why I'm:
🌎 Building EQALL® for our collectives
🆔 Supporting you for you with The Tales of Life
I'm a Passionately Creative & Multi-Skilled Idealist; A Dynamically Strategic Implementer of Dreams;
A Visionary Game-Changer, with a Focused Multidisciplinary Approach towards Life, Business / Entrepreneurship.
Developing myself & Creating Space for Individuals & Organisations to be the Catalyst of Positive Change within, and in Relation to Others, to Consciously Estbalish a Fulfilled Experience of the Reality they wish to Live and Work in.
The Paradox of Life: The fear of death is often a proxy for the fear of not living—
a fear that one has not lived authentically or fully - according to existential psychology. Turning the fear of death into a positive motivator is a cornerstone of existential psychotherapy, particularly in the work of Irvin Yalom (one of my favourite teachers).
While the physical reality of death destroys us,
the idea of death has the power to save us by acting as a catalyst for profound personal change.
The "Awakening Experience" Existentialists believe that...
Certain "boundary experiences" can pull an individual out of a state of mindless "everydayness" and into an authentic mode of being.
Well, I had a few of those. More than enough.
Consequently, all these challenges became possibilities.
Not without any work though.
Yet they taught me how to set boundaries when needed, while still seeing how much beauty exists in this world.
I refuse to become the victim of other people’s unresolved traumas. Nor will I remain the victim of my own choices.
Like Edith Eva Eger, I choose love.
I choose the sunshine. And while understanding my unconscious and evolving, I slowly began helping others too.
Because darkness inherently cannot exist without light. Love.
None of my challenges ever stopped me from wanting to make the world a better place.
My mission has always been the same:
Whether through art and creativity, running my own dance theatre company while revolutionizing the way people perceive art by merging genres;
through consulting, learning, and teaching cultural economics, social and communication sciences; or through creative entrepreneurship
To create a safe space. Not only for myself. For others too.
This is also why I believe emotional intelligence — EQ — can no longer be ignored in a world where...
IQ seems to dominate, while abuse and being rude is often normalized. Knowing there is no excuse for any form of abuse,
EQALL® shifts the deeply needed self-work and healing process toward a societal level.
Because life is short.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - C. Jung
And following Carl Rogers: “We are wounded in relationships, and we heal in relationships.” And healing cannot happen if we ignore empathy, compassion, kindness, love — and healthy boundaries.
“What can we build together that genuinely matters?” EQALL®
A culture where individual mental health awareness and societal wellbeing go hand in hand because the way we relate to ourselves ultimately shapes the way we relate to others, to our communities, to future generations, to business, and to the world around us.
To me, real collective growth happens when businesses stop asking only: “What can I get?” and start asking:
“What can we build together that genuinely matters?”
EQALL®
Let us dress, not to impress but to give a meaning to our everyday life.
Let us create a more conscious world… Make life matter, while supporting others. “If you can’t share, you can’t multiply”. Are you a non-profit or a business?
EQALL® is a less transactional, less ego-driven business model that, paradoxically, becomes far more valuable and sustainable, thus transactional on a deeper human level exactly because of that.
Creating real wealth. Time is of essence...
SIGNUP EQALL® with LOVE :)
Not merely for the discounts...
But for a kinder world.

Life is the accumulation of small decisions.
