Welcome to the Readiness App*. This is your daily tool for building emotional readiness and showing up with more clarity, presence, and adaptability. Designed by The People Readiness Company, the app helps individuals and teams turn reflection into capability. It fits into your day in just a few minutes.

*Formerly known as the MUA app

What does “readiness” mean?

We define emotional readiness as the ability to notice, understand, and regulate how you respond at work, especially under pressure. It is a core capability that supports performance, collaboration, and growth.

The Readiness App supports this development by turning your day-to-day into a feedback loop. You reflect on what energizes or depletes you, journal about key moments, and track your growth over time.

For example, you might realize that weekly check-ins leave you feeling scattered when there is no structure, and learn to set clearer expectations. Or you might notice that you feel most focused after solo work in the morning, which helps you plan your day more intentionally.

Over time, you start to see what drives your behavior and how to adjust in real time. This leads to better decisions, healthier communication, and a mindset that stays open and grounded, even when pressure builds or things get messy.

Why this app works differently

The Readiness App is not another productivity tool or mindfulness gimmick. It is built to support real workplace demands. Here is what makes it work:

  • You reflect in context. You choose what moments matter and log reflections based on your actual workday.

  • You use three simple symbols. These guide your reflection without complicated language or assessments.

  • You create emotional clarity. Over time, patterns emerge, helping you work with more intention and less friction.

  • You build readiness. Not just knowledge, but a real ability to respond with calm, focus, and openness, even under stress.

What the Readiness App offers

  • Daily reflections based on actual tasks and interactions

  • Digital journaling with prompts and challenges to deepen awareness

  • Progress tracking through the built-in Progress Tracker

  • Real-time analytics to visualize your emotional growth

Our approach

Our approach is grounded in emotional science and built for everyday use. There is no performance tracking, no public scoring, just a structured way to build emotional capability at your own pace.

With just 5 to 10 minutes per day, you will begin to see how your emotional patterns influence your decisions, energy, and engagement at work.


Why it matters

  • Most work-related stress comes from unclear emotions and unmanaged responses

  • We can only feel one emotion at a time, and knowing which one is present changes how we act

  • When you track your patterns, you build better choices

  • The more you prioritize energizing activities, the more sustainably you can perform

Emotional readiness is not a soft skill. It is the foundation that allows strategy, collaboration, and change to land.

FAQ

1. How often should I use the app?

We recommend checking in at least three times a week. Consistency matters more than perfection — the more you engage, the more insights you’ll start to see.

What do the symbols mean?

The three symbols help you quickly reflect on your emotional experience. Over time, they become a shorthand for noticing patterns in your day and building emotional awareness. As you continue using them, the spectrum of emotions each symbol represents will expand. What starts as a simple “energizing” or “depleting” label becomes more intuitive and nuanced – helping you notice the difference between calm focus and high-energy motivation, or between irritation and true exhaustion. This subtle awareness builds real emotional range, which is essential for navigating complexity at work.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your reflections are private and never shared with your employer or anyone else. What you log stays yours.

How is my progress tracked?

Once you enable the Progress Tracker, your engagement is measured based on frequency, consistency, and reflection quality. You’ll see updates every two weeks with your current level.

What happens if I miss a few days?

Nothing breaks. Progress is about patterns over time, not daily perfection. Just pick it up again when you’re ready.
