EQ-powered leadership development

Build leadership skills on a foundation of emotional intelligence

Go beyond behavior for on-the-job application

The challenge with most leadership development programs is that they only teach leaders behaviors, or "what to do."

It’s easy for leaders to understand in the classroom. But in the most critical moments of leadership, when stress and tensions are high, emotions override behaviors.

That’s why we integrate emotional intelligence into every leadership development program. We help leaders successfully manage their emotions in the moment, so that they can choose the behaviors that align with the outcomes they need to drive.

Applying Emotional DynamicsTM

Our programs are rooted in Emotional Dynamics™, a model of emotional intelligence designed to specifically build EQ for work performance. 

Built on leading research and practice in emotional intelligence, Emotional Dynamics helps leaders effectively manage emotions that negatively affect their leadership impact and impede progress.

Our model also helps leaders engage positive emotions for better performance, creating motivation, excitement, and deep engagement.
