The Emotional Intelligence Edge
For Leaders
What is The Emotional Intelligence Edge?
Today’s complex and dynamic environment is brought us into unknown territory. A place where it is not enough for leaders to be “nice.” Organizations prepared for the challenging times ahead will be those who provide their leaders with high-impact training, tools, and resources to excel in uncertain times.
EI EDGE offers organizations quantifiable value by establishing objective course clarity, springboard curricula launch and rapid program momentum, immersive intensity, milestone-based metrics for tracking self and team awareness growth, and absorbing, meticulously crafted course lessons to ensure participants advance toward program completion with actionable comprehension and expanded sense of fulfillment.
By the Numbers
The data is revealing in the clear and present role emotional intelligence plays in the success of leaders and teams.
- Leadership Effectiveness: Research conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership found that EQ accounts for nearly 90% of what distinguishes top-performing leaders from their peers.
- Employee Engagement: A study by TalentSmart®, a provider of emotional intelligence assessments, found that employees with high EQ are 63% more engaged in their work compared to those with low EQ.
- Team Performance: A study published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes revealed that teams with emotionally intelligent members outperform teams with lower levels of emotional intelligence by 20%.
Emotional Intelligence Assessments
Emotional intelligence is commonly misunderstood and needlessly overcomplicated, making it difficult to operationalize at a practical, real-world level.
Foundationally speaking, emotional intelligence is:
- The ability to recognize, understand and manage your emotions.
- The ability to recognize, empathize and manage emotions in others.
- The ability to use this information in a way that results in more positive outcomes.
Research shows that leaders with empathy perform over 40% higher in employee engagement, decision-making, and coaching. Catalyst surveyed more than 900 in the US and across industries. They found employees with highly empathic senior leaders report higher levels of creativity (61%) and engagement (76%) than those with less empathic senior leaders (13% and 32%, respectively).
How do your leaders measure up in emotional intelligence? What are their strengths and opportunities?
Our emotional intelligence assessment(s) are exhaustively researched and meticulously designed for leaders. It measures workplace beliefs and behaviors in eighteen different leadership competency areas.
The vast majority of leaders are surprised and grateful to find opportunities to reach higher, grow, and evolve when viewing their behaviors through an emotional intelligence lens.

Our Process
As a boutique leadership development, training and coaching organization, boiler plate sessions is NOT what we do. Our approach is to create an exceptionally high-impact, evergreen, actions-based experience for your team.
Our process begins with a meeting with stakeholders to begin to understand the following:
- Your organization.
- Your mission/vision.
- The number of leaders involved in the engagement.
- Your desired outcome of the training.
- Your preferred engagement length.
- Past training initiatives and what worked well.
Once we understand these elements, we begin the process of designing an initial proposal.
Together we will continue to refine the proposal until you agree that we have designed the “ideal” engagement that will drive and help achieve your and your teams’ optimal outcomes, as well as recommending an ongoing success framework.
