Next Gens and Families |
Private 1:1 mentorship for students and young adults (typically sponsored by parents or family principals)—elite college and graduate school admissions, leadership and career advancement, well-being, and legacy building

“You get through to these kids in a way most can’t.” —Fortune 500 CEO
“You have a gift in how you work with these kids. I get it.” —Don Levy, former SVP, Sony Pictures
You want your Next Gen to achieve, grow in confidence and capabilities, and build a fulfilling life. Through private 1:1 mentorship, ThreeEQ Chief Mentor Jason Ma and Team ThreeEQ would guide and inspire them to gain clarity, prepare exceptionally well, overcome setbacks, and achieve strong outcomes in admissions to top-tier schools, leadership, career advancement, and life, with well-being.
Beyond immediate goals, we help your Next Gen strengthen discernment, relationships, and leadership while building a strong foundation for sustained success, well-being, family harmony, and legacy.
We keep our Next Gen mentorship practice small so your family receives sustained personal attention. We primarily serve ultra-high-net-worth families committed to investing in their Next Gens’ achievement, long-term development, and well-being. We work best with families who value a trusted outside perspective, communicate openly, and follow through on agreed next steps.

Young Leaders 3.0, the highly acclaimed book by Jason Ma
Our highly personalized mentorship includes and goes well beyond college and graduate school admissions, career, life, and executive coaching. It also integrates practical psychology, strategic positioning, pragmatic execution, and holistic development through Jason Ma’s well-established 4S + 3EQ framework:
• 4S: Visionary Story, State, Strategies, and Soft + Hard Skills for the Age of AI
• 3EQ: Emotional, Relational/Social, and Leadership Intelligence
Starting early gives your Next Gen more time to explore, prepare, and grow. For many families, the greatest cost comes from delayed action or inadequate guidance: missed admissions and career opportunities, prolonged misdirection, subpar decisions, and strained family relationships. Those consequences can far exceed the investment in trusted third-party mentorship.

Founders, CEOs, and Executives |
Private 1:1 strategic mentorship and executive advisory at consequential inflection points in career, business, leadership, and life
“Your coaching has been incredibly helpful to me.”
—Entrepreneur and family principal

Your decisions shape your business, your relationships, and the life you want to build. Jason Ma would personally and discreetly advise you through consequential decisions, leadership transitions, and strategic growth opportunities.
He helps you sharpen strategic discernment, grow enterprise value and improve financial performance, strengthen leadership and key relationships, make better decisions under pressure, execute more effectively, and build your legacy with intention.
Our work together includes and goes well beyond executive and life coaching, combining candid dialogue, strategic thinking, practical psychology, and disciplined execution.
At consequential inflection points, the greatest cost can be the cumulative impact of misjudged decisions, missed major opportunities, and delayed or subpar execution: lost enterprise value, weaker financial performance, and strained relationships. These consequences can far exceed the investment in trusted third-party guidance.
