What to expect
We understand emotions and how they influence decisions and behaviour.
Your employees are your greatest asset. But they are fallible human beings. Like all of us, they are influenced by their emotions. Their decision-making, stress-management, interpersonal relationships and workplace behaviours are all impacted by emotions.
Our engaging and enjoyable emotional intelligence coaching will create an awareness of one’s own emotions, provide methods of emotional regulation and instil an appreciation and understanding of other’s emotions too.
We help companies understand and use emotional intelligence for success.
We are accredited by the Association for Coaching and have extensive experience in the delivery of high-volume emotional intelligence coaching. We work with individuals just embarking on their careers, established teams and their managers, all the way up to business leaders. Our goal is to help your business achieve its commercial objectives by cultivating emotional intelligence.
From recruitment of the best talent to the retention of your most valuable employees, emotional intelligence coaching is transformational.
Our coaches are all highly experienced, qualified and very human indeed.

We challenge the status quo.
Think EQ’s emotional intelligence coaching is delivered in multiple ways – online, in-person, via video-call, in a virtual classroom or on the phone.
Our coaching is challenging. We explore attributes and strengths as well as traits that require development or regulation. But our coaching is also enjoyable, inspiring and absorbing. Our holistic approach uses sensitivity, humour, diagnostics and real-world practice to help professionals achieve peak potential.
