Who we are

LeverageEQ was founded in 2021 out of a simple but deeply held belief: how well you do in a role - and how much you want to stay in it - has far less to do with technical skill than most workplaces assume. It comes down to emotional intelligence. Not just your own, but that of the people around you, especially your manager or leader.

​

Five years on, that belief has only strengthened. In a world increasingly shaped by AI, the skills that set people and teams apart are the human ones - strong relationships, the ability to manage stress in uncertain times, and real resilience. These aren't soft extras anymore; they're becoming the difference-makers.

Meet Ellie Bull, Founder

Ellie founded LeverageEQ after years spent as Head of Business Development and Marketing
leading a sales and marketing team of her own. That experience gave her a front-row seat to
exactly how much a team's success - and how long people chose to stay - was shaped by
the emotional intelligence of the people leading them.

​

She left that role to retrain first as a coach, then as a certified EQ-i 2.0 practitioner, and finally as

a psychotherapist - building a rare combination of clinical depth and real workplace experience

into everything LeverageEQ delivers.

​

Today, Ellie splits her time between working one-to-one with private clients and going into

businesses to work directly with teams, managers and leaders. She's joined by a small network of

other qualified EQ-i 2.0 practitioners who help deliver LeverageEQ's workshops across the UK

and internationally. 

​

Based in Moorgate, in the heart of the City of London, we offer training rooms for teams wanting a change of scene from their usual office — or we're happy to come to you, in person or virtually, wherever works best.
