We’re doing an EQ experiment…

We are doing something new!

Well not actually something new, something we’ve done for a long time but in a new way.

For over 10 years our executive coaching clients have leveraged the Learning in Action EQ Profile to help them quickly hone in on the areas to shift in order to noticeably ‘up their game’ as leaders.

  • They have become more self-aware, enabling them to ‘see’ themselves and consciously adjust their approach in the moment
  • They are better able to manage their own intensity in high stress situations, becoming a calming, balanced influence for others
  • They make better decisions with more confidence and more fully engage their teams and peers and leaders to get the right things done more easily
  • They are more attuned to the strengths of their team members and more effective at developing them

And, perhaps most importantly, they’ve been able to craft more sane, enjoyable, and connected (with people, not technology) personal lives.

Up until recently, we have done this work through full, longer term coaching engagements.

Several months ago, a couple of executive clients asked if we could make the EQ Profile available to some of their highest performing team members. Not knowing if we could get a similar deep and sustained outcome as we do with a full coaching engagement, we decided to run a “pilot” to see how it would work with a very brief coaching engagement.

So far, the feedback is good! It’s obviously not the same as the longer-term work, but it’s turning out to be a great return on the investment. As I write this, we do still have some spots available in the pilot. Please contact me directly to decide if this would be a good fit for you and/or some of your team.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to talking with you!

About the Tool

The Learning in Action EQ Profile is different than any other EQ profile or “assessment”

  • It is not a self-report tool based your personal perception of what you think you do
  • It provides a snapshot of your immediate internal experience and response during an interchange in which you are being personally challenged in short video vignettes
  • It focuses on the core capacities of EQ that underlie and support all other EQ-related skills and competencies to enable lasting change
  • There is no score, this Profile is a tool for exploration and designed to foster a coaching conversation to support self-discovery, learning, and action

What it measures

  • Self-awareness--the ability to be aware of one’s own experience including what you are thinking, feeling, and wanting in the moment when being challenged
  • Self regulation--the ability to manage one’s own emotions and effectively manage one’s emotions in relationship
  • Empathy--both empathy accuracy, the ability to tune in to others and accurately see what the other is experiencing, and empathy compassion, the ability to join with others in caring ways and the ability stay emotionally connected with another even when challenged


About the Process

What is included?

  • The EQ Profile
  • The EQ Fitness Handbook (information about EQ, the Profile, and 300 specific exercises to build various dimensions of EQ as reported in the Profile)
  • Meetings with managers of participants and the participant (optional)
  • Thorough debrief of the Profile results (typically around 2 hours)
  • Two additional coaching meetings (typically about 1 1/2 hours each, approximately a month apart)
  • A retainer agreement, which means that participants have open access to their coach outside of scheduled meetings for the duration of the engagement

Who are ideal candidates?

  • The process is designed for successful, high performing leaders who are serious about wanting to grow

What is the timing?

  • As soon as possible
  • We will be closing the pilot once we have committed to 20 participants

What is the cost?

  • The price for the pilot is $1,250 per participant

What else do I need to know?

  • This work can be difficult for some people. For many people it goes quite deep and although it is often challenging, the rewards are equally powerful
  • We will be asking for feedback from all participants so that we can decide what is the most effective way to deliver the Profile with a brief coaching engagement in order to get the best return on the investment (of time, energy, and money)
  • Once we receive the feedback and compile all the data, we will communicate with everyone who has participated in or expressed interest in the process…so please let us know if you would like to know what we discover!

YES, PLEASE, LET’S TALK

“I appreciated that it was digestible and actionable—while our sessions went deep, I left with clear takeaways and an approachable action plan.  Past experiences have gone too deep without a clear path to dig out of the self-reflection or have only scratched the surface and didn’t get to the core of me as an individual.  This was just the…right amount of change to make incremental progress.”

“While Sherryl took time to unpack my EQ profile and engage in developmental meetings one-on-one, the program also provided a roadmap to deepen my EQ training on my own. The program yielded immediate results in my personal and professional relationships.”

“I am so much more aware of and sensitive to my impact on others and I now know what to actually do about it. Overall, a super effective use of time that provided immediate payoff and will continue to help me grow into the future.”

“I started the EQ program because I’ve witnessed the positive results XX reaped from the program. Sherryl walked me through personal situations without being judgmental or overbearing. The program helped identify areas that cause stress and provided step-by-step guidelines on how to better manage my reactions to those influences.”
