The Science is Clear: Research shows that 90% of top performers have high emotional intelligence. EQ is responsible for 58% of performance in all job types, and leaders with higher EI create teams that outperform by 20%.

What Makes EQ So Powerful:

  1. Self Awareness. Also known as Self-Perception, which is understanding your emotional patterns and their impact on your leadership presence

  2. Self-management. How we express and communicate authentically while managing emotional responses effectively impacts those we work with.

  3. Social Awareness. Interpersonal relationships and empathy are tools to read team dynamics and build relationships that drive results

  4. Relationship Management. Problem-solving, impulse control, flexibility, and making sound choices under pressure while maintaining resilience are all components of relationship management.

The EQi-2.0 Advantage: Unlike other assessments, the EQi-2.0 is the gold standard for measuring emotional intelligence—scientifically validated, reliable, and actionable for leadership development.

EQ for Executive Success: At the executive level, technical expertise is assumed. What differentiates great leaders is their ability to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, inspire teams through uncertainty, and make decisions that account for both rational and emotional factors.

The Integration Advantage: While many coaches work with either EQ or StrengthsFinder, the magic happens at the intersection. Your emotional intelligence determines how effectively you apply your strengths, while your strengths provide the natural pathways for developing your EQ. This integration fosters authentic and sustainable leadership development.
