Sharper people skills for smarter leadership.

I see it all too often: New engineering managers promoted to a position they’re not yet equipped to lead from. The transition is bumpy. The team is frustrated. The change triggers a ripple effect of turnover and disengagement. It’s not a matter of talent, passion, or skill. It boils down to emotional intelligence (EQ).

So many engineers have the technical skills and cognitive intelligence needed to succeed as individual contributors. But those with emotional intelligence differentiate themselves as effective leaders. The key isn’t to become more emotional—it’s in helping emerging leaders use emotional information more effectively.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to process emotional information effectively, improving decision-making, stress tolerance, and daily interactions. Emotional intelligence skills pave the pathway to leadership success—and we offer an assessment to identify gaps and opportunities for development that’s tailored to emotional intelligence.

We start with an individual assessment that scores five scales of emotional intelligence, from self-perception and expression, to interpersonal skills, decision-making, and stress management. The resulting report demonstrates each individual’s gaps, allowing for follow-up conversations about strengthening EI skills and behaviors throughout your organization.

Navigating complex workplace dynamics and bringing the best out of every team member requires a high level of EQ—the kind of emotional intelligence that isn’t standard degreed curriculum at engineering or professional schools.

Our emotional intelligence discovery workshops bridge the gap between your engineers’ high-value technical skills and the essential people skills required to lead a team to success. By starting with a detailed EQ assessment, developing EQ awareness, and identifying focus areas to sharpen EQ, we’ll empower your leaders to identify their top abilities—and biggest opportunities for improvement.

• Develop an understanding of the relationship between EQ and goal achievement.
• Learn how emotional intelligence influences and drives other people in the workplace.
• Discuss ways to leverage that knowledge to create more opportunities for cooperation and collaboration.

• Discover the top skills that, as a group, your team scored the lowest, enabling you to prioritize training and development on the critical skills that your organization needs the most.

Our Emotional Intelligence Workshop for future leaders is a short, powerful experience designed to empower your engineers to become more effective in the workplace. Your engineers will self-assess, and with our guidance, discover areas where they can increase emotional intelligence to support their Engineers to Leaders journey.

Our EQ-i 2.0 online self-assessment looks at 15 non-technical skills, categorized into 5 groups, that are essential for developing effective leaders:

EQ awareness doesn’t just benefit the key leaders who engage in the workshop. It empowers teams and departments to communicate more effectively, collaborate better, and navigate conflict with confidence. The sooner you identify opportunities for improving emotional intelligence, the sooner your entire company can benefit from intelligent success.

Emotional intelligence is the key to sustainable growth and innovation. And we’ll help your teams develop it.
