Great leaders need to draw on more than logic, reasoning, problem solving and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) related abilities. To inspire, motivate, lead and grow as individuals we need to do more.

Ask yourself this question - how can one person with an IQ of 120 be highly successful and fulfilled, building meaningful relationships in both private and professional life, whilst another with the same IQ is frustrated, isolated and unable to cope with life and relationships effectively?

The concept of Emotional Intelligence recognises that emotional, interpersonal and social skills, rather than straightforward IQ, become increasingly important the higher up the corporate ladder we go.

Using profiling techniques, Primeast helps leaders explore their Emotional Quotient (EQ), allowing them to recognise and assess their competency and effectiveness in these areas. More importantly, Primeast supports leaders in developing those capabilities that will serve them better in the future - achieving enhanced performance, personal satisfaction and alignment with organisational goals.

The benefits of exploring your EQ

Exploring Emotional Intelligence and EQ allows both individuals and teams to gain insight into the key elements of leadership. Through professional coaching, leaders can work on targeted competencies to:

• Recognise current behaviour, thoughts and actions
• Explore and develop strategies for enhancement
• Gain higher levels of personal awareness
• Demonstrate effective leadership and notice the impact on people around them
• Reflect upon and review progress

Exploring your EQ also has wider benefits - you can recognise people with high EQ by the way they:

• Express and articulate feelings in a positive, clear yet assertive manner
• Celebrate success and learn from development opportunities
• Are great listeners and understand others exceptionally well
• Adapt to changing circumstances, manage stress and show self-control
• Are optimistic and determined
• Are simply great people to be around!

How Primeast can help you

Primeast help leaders to discover their levels of competence and areas for enhancement, generating long-term sustainable change and personal growth.

We incorporate the insights gained through EQ profiling into our various developmental programmes, such as Leadership Coaching, Leadership Development Workshops, Leadership Think Groups and Seminars, Team Development, Change Management and Motivational Speaking events.

EQ profiling can be completed as a self-assessment, or as part of a wider 360° assessment.
