Emotional intelligence is defined as “a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.”
Emotional intelligence reflects one’s overall wellbeing and ability to succeed in life. People with high Emotional Intelligence can manage their emotions, communicate effectively with others, manage change well and solve problems. They all have empathy, remain optimistic and are skilled at influencing and persuading others.We are part of a global network of professionals certified to use the EQi 2.0, based on the Bar-On EQ-i model of Emotional Intelligence and offer:
- Understanding Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace workshops
- Individual coaching & feedback
- 360 degree feedback using the EQ 360 assessment
While the EQ-i 2.0® is based on an individual’s own responses, the EQ 360 assessment provides a more in-depth analysis by having those who work with the individual employee provide information as well. When those other ratings are compared with the results of an individual EQ-i 2.0 self-report, a more complete 360 degree profile emerges.
Emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas.
“It is very important to understand that emotional intelligence is not the opposite of intelligence, it is not the triumph of heart over head -- it is the unique intersection of both.” David Caruso
