Emotional Intelligence Development Programmes
Why is Emotional Intelligence important?
Which of these problems do you face in your organisation?
- a boss that everyone is scared of, who consequently only hears about bad news when it's too late
- resistance to change, based on fear
- high staff turnover
- a dysfunctional team, where no-one is addressing the people problems
- a negative emotional climate, where people come to work because they have to, not because they want to
- people who are scared to take the initiative in case they make a mistake
It's uncomfortable to even think about what the future impact of these problems will be if they are not addressed - which is maybe why they continue.
Emotionally intelligent organisations handle these problems. They create emotional climates and working practices, and encourage leadership styles, that make their people want to bring the whole of their creativity and enthusiasm to work, as opposed to just showing up.
We can help you to solve these problems and increase emotional intelligence - in your organisation, your team, or yourself. Fast forward to choose the programme that's right for you.
Emotional intelligence is:
’Ķthe
capacity for recognising our own feelings and those of others, for
motivating ourselves and for managing emotions effectively in others
and ourselves.
- Daniel Goleman, Emotional
Intelligence
Emotional intelligence defines abilities distinct from, but complementary to, the logical and cognitive abilities measured by IQ.
Research has shown that people with high levels of emotional intelligence have proven to be more successful than those with average levels. The higher you progress up the corporate ladder, the more difference emotional intelligence makes - because results at higher levels are determined not solely by technical ability but increasingly by how well you can unlock the potential of teams.
Research studies carried out by the Hay Group and psychologist Richard Boyatzis have found:
- Experienced partners in a multi-national consulting firm who were assessed on their levels of emotional intelligence delivered $1.2 million more profit from their accounts than did other partners - a 139% incremental gain
- Software developers with high levels of emotional intelligence can develop effective software three times faster than others
- Sales Consultants with high levels of emotional intelligence generate twice the revenue of their colleagues
- A national furniture retailer found that sales people hired based on emotional intelligence had half the drop out rate during their first year
If you want to develop emotional intelligence in your organisation to match these results, select from these elements to design the programme that's right for you.

The Emotionally Intelligent Manager
A half-day taster course suitable for larger groups, giving an overview of EQ with plenty of practical exercises for self-management. A great way to kick-start an emotional intelligence programme in your organisation.

Executive Coaching using the ECI’Ñ¢ 360º assessment
Designed
to help you evolve past your limitations to develop
the qualities that make the difference between a manager and a leader.
You begin the coaching programme by using the Hay Group's Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI’Ñ¢) 360º assessment, which captures how your colleagues see your leadership competencies and lets you see how they compare against how you see yourself. The results (which may surprise you) give you the basis for a bespoke coaching programme, and an action plan that you develop in partnership with your coach.
Suitable for: executives and key professionals

NLP ("Neuro-Linguistic Programming" - you can see why we
prefer the abbreviation) provides a prodigious 'toolkit' of techniques
for developing emotional intelligence, and making change happen in
yourself and your business.
This course trains you how to use those tools, and leads to NLP
Practitioner certification. You can join our next open NLP Practitioner
course in Manchester, or we can run an in-house course for your
organisation.
