HR Professionals & Senior Leaders:

Is the precarious balance of people, profit and the changing landscape keeping you awake at night?

Do you want to improve your leader’s ability to motivate and inspire their teams?

Want your people to be more resilient,  empathetic, agile, adaptable, and inspiring?

Developing Your Leaders To Be More Emotionally Intelligent – Resilient, Empathetic, Adaptable And Inspiring

Why We Do This

“We believe when leaders  are emotionally intelligent,  they and their people are  happier and more fulfilled,  and get better results for  themselves, their teams and  their organisations.”  

Anne Taylor & Sue Belton

Successful, technically excellent leaders perform better when they develop their emotional intelligence (EQ). They will become more resilient and empathetic, agile and adaptable, all while having more collaborative conversations.  

Our EQ Leadership  Formula Model has been developed through extensive experience and research.  Rooted in neuroscience and mindfulness, it ensures lasting behavioural change.  

WHO YOU ARE – As an HR Professional or Leader, you want to confidently face  the challenges ahead and proactively support, develop and retain your people and be an  ‘employer of choice.’ You and your leaders are smart, technically excellent and have been resilient in this difficult time. You know more is needed to perform through this next phase,  and that EQ or ‘soft skills’ are integral to success. 

Emotional Fatigue

• You’re worried about your employees’  well-being, stress levels and mental health.  
• You’re seeing emotional outbursts, lack of patience and overwhelm and increased absenteeism. 
• Emotional fatigue and exhaustion are commonplace.  
• Now leaders need to have new levels of understanding, empathy and patience for their people while also dealing with their own emotional fatigue.  

Avoiding DIfficult Conversations

• There are pockets of minimal collaboration,  low trust, silos and avoidance of challenging conversations.  
• Leaders and managers are reluctant to give and receive feedback, ‘tell’ rather than coach resulting in less engagement and empowerment. 
• More ‘difficult conversations’ are needed,  for more effective decision-making, greater influencing, authenticity and cohesion.   

Rigidity + Inflexibility

• There’s a relentless pace, constant change;  processes and people are not adapting fast  enough.  
• Practices and mindsets need to be more agile. 
• Decision making and bureaucracy stall innovation. 
• Leaders feel pressure to hit targets, all while addressing the macro issues of climate,  sustainability, pandemics and inclusion. 
• You risk falling behind the competition and ruining your reputation.
