Our Approach

Identify

This process entails selecting 2-3 specific emotional intelligence (EI) skills that you wish to thoughtfully enhance and develop over time. These skills may consist of existing strengths that you already possess and want to leverage even further, or particular areas where you sincerely believe improvement is not only necessary but also beneficial for your overall personal and interpersonal growth.
Develop

After identifying the essential Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills, you will be guided thoughtfully to consider the variety of developmental strategies that are provided alongside each specific EQ-i 2.0 subscale. We will actively and enthusiastically look for meaningful opportunities to apply these strategies in your daily life, ensuring that you can integrate them effectively into your personal and professional interactions.
Connect

As every emotional intelligence subscale is intricately linked to various fundamental leadership behaviors, it is essential to understand these connections. We take the time to thoughtfully contemplate and explore how you can effectively harness your emotional intelligence in order to significantly strengthen and elevate your overall capacity for impactful leadership.
