For Next Gens & Their Families Private Mentorship for Elite College Admissions, |
“You have a gift in how you work with these kids. I get it.”
—Don Levy, Former SVP of Marketing, Sony Pictures
ThreeEQ is an iconic, trusted family business led by Founder and CEO Jason Ma, award-winning Chief Mentor of Next-Gen Leaders. We inspire and guide high-achieving middle/high school, college, and graduate students—as well as young professionals in select UHNW families—through holistic, strategic, and personalized 1-on-1 mentorship to achieve outstanding outcomes with well-being and happiness.
Our mentees have earned admission to top universities, built high-impact careers, grown as emotionally, socially, and leadership-intelligent (3EQ) young adults, and strengthened family unity and legacy. Each engagement is personally led by Mr. Ma and supported by Team ThreeEQ, with a near-100% success rate among coachable, committed clients.
The greatest cost for families is often opportunity loss—when a Next Gen doesn’t receive trusted third-party guidance early enough or doesn’t complete the process. ThreeEQ’s mentorship goes far beyond traditional “college consulting” and “career coaching”: it integrates practical psychology, strategic positioning, leadership development, and long-term clarity in life and career.
At the core is Mr. Ma’s powerful 4S and 3EQ framework:
• 4S — Visionary Story, State, Strategies, & Soft+Hard Skills
• 3EQ — Pragmatic Emotional, Social, & Leadership Intelligence
👉 For Middle Schoolers
👉 For High School Students
👉 For College & Graduate Students
👉 For Young Professionals
👉 For Parents & Family Leaders
Jason Ma chaired the Family Office & Private Wealth Legacy Summit 2025 and moderated its opening panel, “Bridging Generations—Wealth Transfer Dialogues Between Parents and Heirs,” in the Hamptons. A special moment with his two Gen Z daughters, Sabrina and Lydia, contributing together onstage.

For Entrepreneurs & Senior Leaders Private Executive Coaching for Next-Level Business, |
“Your coaching has been incredibly helpful to me.”
—Female Boomer Entrepreneur
Jason Ma personally coaches and mentors a select number of CEOs, founders, and senior executives navigating growth transitions, inflection points, and complex decisions. His guidance helps private clients:
- • Achieve next-level business, career, and personal success with well-being and happiness
- • Make smarter decisions in high-stakes and uncertain environments
- • Lead through change and major life or career transitions
- • Strengthen resilience, emotional fitness, and communication
- • Enhance influence and multigenerational legacy
.
For senior leaders, the greatest cost is rarely fees—it is opportunity loss, often caused by delaying trusted external guidance or losing momentum before the process is complete. ThreeEQ’s coaching goes far beyond standard “executive coaching”: it integrates strategic clarity, human capital mastery, emotional/social/leadership intelligence, and long-term performance sustainability.
