Emotional Intelligence is the ability to really know oneself and be able to manage oneself so that the desired impact is achieved. Unlike IQ which tends to remain relatively unchanged over time, EI is something that can be developed.

A prolific amount of research is being done in this area to look at the correlation between high degrees of Emotional Intelligence and outstanding performance in the work place. Thus far the research is showing that there is indeed a link between star performers (not just in terms of business results but also in relation to creating a positive emotional climate) and levels of EI.
EI is comprised of a number of cornerstones; namely Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness and Relationship Management,
Self Awareness and Self Management are at the core of our EI programmes.
These cornerstones relate to how well you know yourself, your values, beliefs, strengths and areas for development. They also relate to how well you can manage yourself and your emotions so that you can have the desired impact on others.
Social Awareness and Relationship Management make up the social cornerstones and are more concerned with how you build relationships with others and how well you understand your impact on others.

Typical examples of EI Modules include:

• Self awareness
• Relationship handling
• Conflict resolution
• Self mastery
• Stress management

Organisations that are committed to raising the EI levels of their people and their teams typically report some of the following benefits.

• Increased leadership competencies and skills
• Higher performing and productive workforce and improved bottom line
• Increased communication skills and better decision making skills.
• Higher levels of confidence and self-belief
• Increased ability to empower and influence
• Increased ability to successfully face complex challenges and change initiatives
