In Communication IQ, the Kendalls share information about three communication intelligence categories—kinetic/action, emotive/feeling, and cognitive/thinking—and the seven Life Languages—Mover, Doer, Influencer, Responder, Shaper, Producer, and Contemplator.
Each Life Language has a filter through which one views life and communication, a need that provides feelings of acceptance and love when it’s met, a key character strength, a learning style, and other traits. The Kendalls’ goal is to empower people to learn how to use their Life Language to better communicate with others in their personal lives, their careers, and the world at large, while also gaining a greater self-awareness of their own strengths and passions.

"By languages, in all their facets, we can live in peace or go to war. We sing songs in harmony, or shout insults in anger. We experience connection or disconnection. We work together in peace or in pain. The choice is ours."Anna Kendall
Every so often, we meet people with whom we find it difficult to communicate. For one reason or another, we dont seem to be on the same wavelengthits as if were speaking different languages. Its frustrating when we try to discuss something with them or understand their point of view.
The late renowned management consultant Peter Drucker claimed that 80 percent of all management problems were the result of faulty communication. Poor communication also causes strife in many relationships.
Fred and Anna Kendall set out to discover how different people prefer to communicate and what methods they use to do so. The result is the Kendalls Life Languages program, which has been used successfully by tens of thousands of people around the world.

Fred and Anna Kendall are known nationally and internationally as experts in communication and relationships. They have offered their expert advice as hosts or interview guests on more than 800 television and radio programs, including Dr. Phil and Good Morning America. Their interest in helping people understand themselves and others was the catalyst for creating, developing, and perfecting an original system of communication known as the 7 Life Languages. They also developed the Kendall Life Languages Profile (KLLP), an exceptional measurement instrument that determines ones fluency in the seven different communication styles. This foundational product is both diagnostic and prescriptive, providing insightful, positive self-discovery resulting in character-centered communication.
Freds eclectic background includes positions such as juvenile probation counselor and officer, area and divisional manager of electronics communications companies, hospital management, and co-ownership of three psychiatric hospital programs and seventeen outpatient centers called LifeCare, located in Ft. Worth, Texas, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Newport Beach, California. He has served on advisory councils and boards of directors for several organizations.
Anna was the publicist and personal executive assistant to Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, Inc., eventually becoming an international senior director. She co-hosted the nationwide radio talk show, Point of View, as well as her own shows, The Christian Home and Love Restores. Anna also hosted LifeCare, a national television talk show on emotional, relational, and professional issues that was syndicated on network and independent stations.
With Freds education and experience in military science, psychology, psychometrics, and business, combined with Annas extensive background in public relations, marketing, advertising, and communications, the Kendalls formed Life Languages Institute, Inc., in 1995.

The 7 Life Languages communications profile has been one of the most powerful and effective teaching and training tools that I have had the pleasure of using. Since most of our interactive behavior involves communicating with others, the knowledge gained from learning about ourselves and others through the Life Languages can only enhance, heal, strengthen, and improve our personal and professional relationships. This powerful tool can be used in any setting. The wisdom gained when individuals learn their own unique set of Life Languages is enlightening and automatically helps to create a greater appreciation for diverse perspectives. This powerful information has been a significant addition to the curriculum in our Management and Business Administration Program.

As the president and CEO of a fast-growing, renewable energy company, the Life Languages program has been invaluable. The culture at miEnergy is paramount to our achieving our vision and communication plays a vital role in that process. My experience with coach Scott Epp has been empowering and transformational. Scott first equipped me to understand and share the Life Languages material and then facilitated sessions with our team. Through these sessions, each individual grew not only in their understanding of themselves but also in their appreciation for others. The Life Languages exercise has allowed us to support our vision even better through deeper relationships and productive communication. This tool can not only assist within a corporate culture but in every personal relationship in life. It has been a positive investment and we are continuing to integrate Scott and the Life Languages tool into our training and development.
