The field of emotional intelligence is often located solely within the domain of occupational psychologists, researchers and academics. EI4Change brings emotional intelligence into the every day working environment to give real meaning through practical application. By removing the mysticism around psychometrics and emotional intelligence, EI4Change is having a major impact on leadership in organisations. This is achieved by promoting applications that give greater awareness to those acting as managers and leaders in whatever capacity.
The EI4Change team takes a pragmatic approach to developing emotional intelligence at the personal and interpersonal level across a wide range of disciplines, organisational types (large and small) and a variety of industries. We pride ourselves in having a breadth of business qualifications supported by many years' experience of working with executives, managing directors, senior managers and leaders. Our background includes experience of powerful personality and behavioural assessments which provide immediate insight and learning.
EI4Change is all about people and strategy at work, and the ability of one to deliver the other. We work mostly with managers and directors at senior levels using a range of Emotional Intelligence tools to get a more well-rounded view of an individual and how they operate in their work environment. The systemic effects of how the senior team members use their Emotional Intelligence impacts throughout the whole organisation and this has a significant effect on the atmosphere and the work culture.
EI4Change uses the focus on emotional intelligence in the coaching context as a tool to open up discussions in order to gain insights into what makes a person tick and to find out what is holding them back from reaching their potential. Particularly when used in conjunction with the appropriate use of personality and behavioural assessments, a more complete picture of the client emerges without needing to spend hours and hours in coaching sessions. This focus provides such a profound insight into an individual’s character that it allows us to reach a point in the coaching process that would otherwise have taken several sessions to achieve. This is good news for our clients as it cuts down the time needed for in-depth exploration meaning that the time spent together becomes productive more quickly.
