EQ-i2.0® & EQ360®

The concept of emotional intelligence reflects the ability to read the political and social environment, to intuitively grasp what others want and need, to remain unruffled by stress and to possess the interpersonal skills to be engaging – the kind of person that others want to be around. All of which are proven qualities necessary for outstanding leadership and critical survival skills for these unpredictable times. Based on the original version authored by Dr. Reuven Bar-On, the highly acclaimed EQ-i 2.0® is the leading measure of emotional intelligence. Built on the framework of the EQ-i 2.0®, the EQ360® provides a multi-rater perspective of this robust tool.

Who is the training for? This 2 day training course, designed for Coaches, HR Specialists, Leadership Consultants, Recruiters, Business Psychologists and Trainers, will fully equip attendees to administer and feedback on these widely acclaimed psychometrics tools.

Investment: The all inclusive cost of this 2-day intensive training is €1,500. The fee includes refreshments, all training materials, a reference book; ‘The EQ Edge’, and 2 complimentary EQ-i 2.0® and EQ360® reports.

EQ360 Accreditation Training

A ½ Day Workshop for EQ-i Practitioners

Who can attend?

This workshop is designed for BarOn EQ-i Accredited Practitioners who, whilst trained and licensed to use the EQi, do not have accreditation in the use of the 360º instrument. (Future accreditation training for new practitioners of the EQi^2.0 includes accreditation for both the individual and 360º versions of the instrument – up until now these were 2 separate accreditation processes.)

While the EQ-i^2.0 identifies the level of a cli­ent’s emotional and social functioning based on his or her responses, the EQ 360 assess­ment provides a more in-depth analysis by having those who work with the client pro­vide information as well. When observer rat­ings are compared with the results of an EQ-i^2.0 self-report, a more complete 360 degree profile emerges.

The EQ 360 identifies an individual’s key strengths that can be leveraged to the benefit of the organization, as well as impediments to high performance that could be improved. As with the EQ-i^2.0, the new EQ 360 fea­tures significant changes based on data and feedback gathered over several years.

This feedback resulted in:

• Clear alignment with EQ-i^2.0 items
• Automated set-up
• Condensed report output
• Enhanced report appearance
• Detailed interpretation

Date:                            Tuesday July 2nd., 2013.

Time:                           2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.

Location:                   London, United Kingdom.

Executive Coaching, whatever else it is, is essentially about change

Tracking change is a powerful reinforcement for the client (and the coach!) as well as demonstrating to the commissioner the return on investment. Change is by design and should be measured. In partnership with the client the coach charts the change path (the development plan) and signposts the way. The coach provides the encouragement and the framework for personal change. The change process is then measured.

The starting point is captured (e.g. 360 Feedback, Performance Appraisal, In-house Key Success Factors or Leadership Skills Audit/Psychometrics), milestones defined and tracked and gains assessed. Business needs drive the measurement process.

Being an executive coach is a rewarding privilege. All clients deserve nothing but our best efforts and our coaching interventions need to be highly relevant to the client’s (and the business’s) needs. Relevance to these real and felt needs maximises the probability of change. But we as coaches should always be ready to track that change wherever possible.

Similarly, I have often thought that there is a striking similarity between many EI skills and Stephen’s 7 Habits. So let’s consider the 7 habits against the composite scales (listed below) contained within what is considered the most respected model of emotional intelligence the EQ-i 2

Self-Perception

An awareness of ‘self’ enhances our ability to be able to choose to respond rather than to react to problems and therefore lessen our chances of experiencing an emotional hijack. These emotional skills are at the heart of Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Self-Expression

Addresses how to deliver on the choices selected above – your wildly important goals and values will drive your decision-making process by allowing you to be independent of mind and confident in asserting your goals. Doing this will see you practising Habit 2: by beginning With the End in Mind.

Interpersonal

Habit 4: Think Win-Win will see you think in terms of mutual respect and becoming more socially aware which in turn will strengthen your interpersonal relationships. To do this you will need to increase your levels of empathy which is the first half of Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. It is also likely that by utilising these habits you will also get an opportunity to exude Habit 6 and Synergize.

Decision Making

How well you practice the habits already listed will greatly impact on how well you handle your emotions when problem solving, allowing you to remain calm, objective and effective.

Stress Management

A valuable way to remain optimistic, flexible in your approach and to increase your levels of stress tolerance is to practice Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw by renewing yourself in the following four dimensions Soul, Mental, Physical and Emotional.

To summarise: it appears that in many ways emotional intelligence is simply an old bottle of wine with a new label! The latest EQ-i 2.0 model provides us with an intuitive platform that enables the user to develop EI skills.

The much applauded and one of the best selling business books of all time is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People written by Stephen Covey. The lessons that can be learned from this book are probably more relevant and useful to many people today than they have being at anytime since it was first published over 23 years ago.

Why?

As quite simply it is easy to be effective or to lead when things are going well. However, with so much forced change being inflicted on individuals it makes it harder to be highly effective or to remain completely confident and focused. Stephen’s 7 habits outline a mind-set, skill-set and tool-set to help people to respond rather than react to change. In his book, Stephen identified some core principles that govern human behaviour and effectiveness, such as responsibility, vision, integrity, understanding, collaboration, and renewal.

Many important relationship’s both inside and outside of work are suffering because people have become increasingly anxious and are falling more frequently into negative ways of thinking which often manifests into the development of win-lose relationship with others (i.e. for me to win you must fail). These relationship arise out of fear and anger and they ultimately lead to home and workplace environments becoming increasingly toxic, where there exists little chance of the creation of mutual understanding or the development of respectful and synergistic relationships. Through engaging with the 7 habits you can achieve the exact opposite, by learning to think and act differently you will achieve better results.

Stephen’s 7^th habit addresses the idea of renewal. A lot of people are increasingly feeling burnt-out as they feel too busy, anxious or simply overwhelmed. Stephen highlights four dimensions (mental, physical, spiritual and emotional) which if practiced consistently will enable people to feel more in control and less stressed.

Lastly, the 7 habits will not make a person’s problems go away however they will enable you to become more proactive and to focus primarily on what you can influence when faced with change and uncertainty. Practicing them will enhance your decision making capabilities by directing your levels of attention, energy and focus towards what matters most!
