"The EQ Difference: A Distinguishing Factor" Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a different type of intelligence. It’s about being “people smart,” not just “book smart.” Research shows that emotional intelligence matters just as much as intellectual ability, if not more so, when it comes to happiness and success in life. Emotional intelligence helps you build strong relationships, succeed at work, and achieve your goals. 80% of top performers are high in Emotional Intelligence versus 20% of low performers. Bradberry and Greaves A recent series of landmark studies further shows the following research findings: For your organization and teams to compete effectively in today's marketplace, EQ is no longer just an added bonus but a must have skill!

Emotional Intelligence Coaching
EI coaching (personalized, private one-on-one or team format) further helps you gain the edge you need to increase performance in your work and personal life. We focus specifically on being more aware, in the moment, of our emotions, our intuition, and those feelings that arise from deep within us. By paying attention to this information, we can use it to make better decisions, manage ourselves more productively and work more effectively with others.
