Let's build managers people actually want to work for.

Employees are 400% less likely to quit on an emotionally intelligent manager. We help you measure EI, develop it, and watch the impact follow.

We use the EQ-i 2.0 - the world's most scientifically validated EQ assessment - to measure 15 key competencies, then coach you or your people to build the ones that matter.

From a 90-minute training workshop to energise your next away day, to a full programme for lasting change - we shape it around what you need.

Our Emotional Intelligence development solutions are:

Flexible: Available in-person across the UK or virtually.
Expert-led: Delivered by certified EQi 2.0 practitioners, qualified coaches and psychotherapists.
Tailored to your needs: Choose from our existing packages or bespoke solutions.

We cover:

Manager
Development

Employees are 400% less likely to leave a job if they have a manager with high emotional intelligence. EI affects your ability to manage and motivate a team beneath you. We help managers to develop their emotional intelligence skills.

Leadership Development

Leaders set the tone of their company. If they have low emotional intelligence, it can have damaging consequences such as poor employee engagement and high staff turnover. We help leaders to develop their emotional intelligence with our specific leadership reports.

Team Development

We help teams to really understand one another at a deeper level so that they can excel. We look at a team's average emotional intelligence scores across 15 key areas, show them where their strengths and weaknesses lie as a team, and work with them to improve.

Early Career/Graduate Development

The earlier you understand your emotional intelligence, the earlier you can act on it. We help graduates identify their blind spots right at the start of their career, so they can build a clear development plan for the years ahead.

Our Assessment Tool: The EQ-i 2.0

At LeverageEQ, we use the EQ-i 2.0 - the world's leading emotional intelligence assessment - to give individuals and teams a clear snapshot of their emotional intelligence skills before any coaching or training begins. Download a sample EQ-i 2.0 report here to see exactly what's included.

Backed by over 25 years of research, the EQ-i 2.0 is trusted by tens of thousands of users across Fortune 500 companies, government, military, non-profit, athletic, entertainment, financial services, pharmaceutical, policing, healthcare, legal, higher education and consulting organisations. It remains one of the most scientifically validated emotional intelligence tools available today.

EQ-i 2.0 vs. personality tests

Personality tests can build self-awareness, but traits like introversion or conscientiousness are relatively fixed and hard to coach. The EQ-i 2.0 works differently — it measures emotional intelligence skills that can be developed and improved, whatever your underlying personality type.

Why emotional intelligence skills matter

Strong emotional intelligence skills are critical for building relationships and teams, resolving conflict, retaining staff, leading effectively, and building resilience - making the EQ-i 2.0 assessment a valuable starting point for any emotional intelligence training programme.
