Emotional Intelligence
Developing Emotional Intelligence for Leadership Effectiveness
Emotional intelligence is a core leadership capability. It directly influences how leaders make decisions, manage relationships, navigate conflict, and lead through complexity and change.
I support leaders and teams to strengthen emotional intelligence through evidence-based assessment, facilitated learning, and practical application—helping individuals translate insight into meaningful leadership behaviour.
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to:
- Recognize and understand emotions in oneself and others
- Regulate emotional responses effectively
- Use emotional information to guide thinking, behaviour, and relationships
Emotional intelligence is learnable and developable. With the right insight, feedback, and practice, leaders can strengthen how they show up—especially under pressure.
Why Develop Emotional Intelligence?
Leaders who intentionally develop emotional intelligence are better able to:
- Increase self-awareness and leadership impact
- Strengthen communication and working relationships
- Navigate conflict and difficult conversations more effectively
- Lead change with greater confidence and adaptability
- Build trust, engagement, and team effectiveness
Emotional intelligence development supports both individual performance and organizational culture.
Assessment-Informed Development
Emotional intelligence development begins with insight. I use well-established emotional intelligence assessments to support accurate self-awareness and focused development.
Assessments are always paired with facilitated debriefs, coaching conversations, and practical application, ensuring results lead to meaningful change—not just data.
Emotional Intelligence Assessments
Emotional Intelligence Assessments
EQ-i 2.0® – Emotional Intelligence Assessment
The EQ-i 2.0® provides a comprehensive view of an individual’s emotional and social functioning. It measures key competencies that influence leadership effectiveness, decision-making, relationships, and well-being.
Assessment results support participants to:
- Understand emotional intelligence strengths and growth areas
- Explore how EI shows up in workplace behaviour
- Identify development priorities linked to real leadership challenges
- Build a focused, practical development plan
EQ 360® – Emotional Intelligence Feedback
The EQ 360® provides leaders with a multi-rater perspective on how their emotional intelligence is experienced by others, including peers, direct reports, and managers.
This assessment supports leaders to:
- Compare self-perception with others’ experiences
- Identify alignment and gaps in leadership impact
- Strengthen credibility, influence, and trust
- Target development where it matters most
Individual & Team-Based Emotional Intelligence Development
Emotional intelligence work can be delivered as:
- Individual assessment and coaching engagements
- Dedicated team sessions to strengthen awareness, communication, and collaboration
- Integrated components within leadership programs, workshops, or strategic initiatives
Team-based EI sessions help groups develop a shared language, strengthen relationships, and improve how work gets done together.
Who This Is For
Emotional intelligence development is well-suited for:
- Leaders and managers with people responsibilities
- Senior leadership and executive teams
- Emerging and aspiring leaders
- Human resource and organizational development professionals
- Teams seeking to improve communication, trust, and effectiveness
A Practical, Facilitated Approach
Emotional intelligence development is most effective when it is:
- Evidence-based, grounded in validated assessment tools
- Facilitated, creating space for reflection and dialogue
- Applied, linked directly to leadership practice and workplace challenges
My role is to help leaders move from insight to action—strengthening emotional intelligence in ways that are practical, relevant, and sustainable.
