Leading with Emotional Intelligence
Leadership is fundamentally about facilitating high performance, thereby motivating others to do things effectively and efficiently. Emotional intelligence is a key attribute that helps leaders achieve this function.
Extensive research has shown, for example, that people perform their best at work when they feel involved in purposeful work that develops who they are, and when they feel valued, cared for, consulted, respected, informed and understood. This research has also shown that people perform their worst when they feel unproductive feelings, such as feeling overly worried, frustrated, concerned, stressed, inadequate and fearful.
During this program, leaders will improve their understanding of emotions and emotional intelligence. They will also explore and practice tools and techniques for applying emotional intelligence in leadership and creating high performance in others. Award winning Emotional Intelligence assessments and debriefs provide added insight into developing a more emotionally intelligent approach to leadership.
In this program, participants will:
- Explore the neuroscience of emotions and emotional intelligence
- Examine tools and techniques for effectively asking for, and responding to, feedback
- Explore techniques for developing self and other awareness
- Examine how to use reactive and proactive techniques to build personal resilience and effectively manage strong emotions, and
- Explore an approach for facilitating engagement discussions with staff members
Leader as Coach
“Real change often happens informally, with people who are good listeners, respectful of their culture, and who look for windows of opportunity.” – Peter Senge
More now than ever, leaders need to coach
The business world is moving faster and faster. This speed presents challenges for leaders at all levels. Achieving outcomes, keeping up to date and developing capability is both increasingly challenging and increasingly important. More now than ever, leaders need to provide feedback, guide and direct people to achieve results, manage performance, develop capability, and engage team members. All these leadership actions take place in coaching conversations. Many leaders struggle with these conversations or misunderstand the role of coaching as a leadership tool.
This program is designed to:
- Help leaders develop a mindset which supports them to hold constructive coaching conversations
- Equip leaders with tools to enhance coaching interactions
- Develop essential skills for emotionally intelligent, constructive coaching conversations
Coaching with Emotional Intelligence
At the core, coaching is communication-based personal interaction. Many coaching workshops address the tools and skills necessary for effective coaching but fail to address the interpersonal dynamics. For coaching to be truly constructive it requires emotional intelligence.
The workshop takes an evidence-based approach. Prior to attending the workshop, participants take part in the Genos Emotional Intelligence Assessment; a multi-rater assessment providing personal insight into strengths and development areas essential to coaching conversations. The digital report walks them through their results and guides them in the development of a personal development plan. Participants bring their plan with them to the program sessions to help personalize their learnings from it.
The Science of Well-Being
With emotions going through unprecedented highs and lows, keeping your workforce’s wellbeing in check is more important than ever.
Science has shown that our wellbeing is like our fingerprints, we are all unique. Understanding emotions in ourselves and others is central to improving wellbeing.
During four powerful, virtual, interactive sessions, deep dive into proven strategies you can use to improve each area of wellbeing. Discover how to better understand emotional intelligence and become more self-aware.

The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™
Your Team Can Do Better.
The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team is an assessment-based learning experience that helps individuals and organizations reveal what it takes to build a truly cohesive and effective team in the most approachable, competent, and effective way possible. Powered by Everything DiSC®, the profiles help participants understand their own DiSC® styles. Bringing together everyone’s personalities and preferences to form a cohesive, productive team takes work, but the payoff can be huge – for individuals, the team, and the organization.
To gain this advantage, teams must:
- Trust One Another
- When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, they are able to build vulnerability-based trust.
- Engage in Conflict Around Ideas
- When there is trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.
- Commit to Decisions
- When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they will be more likely to commit to decisions.
- Hold One Another Accountable
- When everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.
- Focus on Achieving Collective Results
- The ultimate goal of building greater trust, conflict, commitment, and accountability is one thing: the achievement of results.
How does it work?
The Five Behaviors Model is used to help team members learn to work together more efficiently and effectively and become a more cohesive team. A productive, high-functioning team:
- Makes better, faster decisions
- Taps into the skills and opinions of all members
- Avoids wasting time and energy on politics, confusion, and destructive conflict
- Avoids wasting time talking about the wrong issues and revisiting the same topics repeatedly because of a lack of buy-in
- Creates competitive advantage
- Is more fun to be on!
