The Arcqus Story

Have you wondered what “ARCQUS” stands for? I often get this question, so here’s the story behind the name.

Years ago, when contemplating the inception of my company, I was fueled by a deep-seated aspiration to unleash the extraordinary power of leadership within organizations. My college years, when I delved into the study of Latin and became fascinated with diverse cultures, sowed the seeds for the name ‘ARCQUS ‘.

“ARCQUS” is a fusion of two Latin words. “Arc” means “arch” or “bow,” symbolizing stored power. An arch is one of the strongest architectural structures, and its strength comes from the keystone at its top and center. “Qus” translates to “who.” Together, ARCQUS encapsulates the essence of identifying and empowering the leaders within ourselves, our teams, and our organizations.

The archer, a symbol of our leadership journey, always aiming upward and striving for growth and improvement. It may sound a bit nerdy, but the nuance and detail matter to us. This story embodies the essence of self-leadership: a continuous quest for growth and improvement to better serve others.
