Module ONE: Emotional Intelligence Profiling - Increasing our Self and "Other" Awareness
ONLINE SURVEY and TEAMS REVIEW (45 minute survey and a 1 hour TEAMS Review / Feedback Coaching Session per delegate)
Emotional Intelligence Profiling (Accredited by the British Psychological Society).
All delegates will receive a 29-page personal E.I. Profile which identifies individuals strengths and areas for development and will also serve as a Training Needs Analysis.
i.e. If there are training needs across several people in the cohort, the content of the programme can be tailored to include these specific topics.
Any individual, personal areas can be covered in the Team coaching sessions. Self-Awareness is the start of a Leaders’ Emotionally Intelligent Leadership Journey. The first module is an online BPE EI Survey and will give each delegate an in depth understanding of their strengths and areas for further development.
This module also includes a 360 Feedback Activity from colleagues/ team members/ peers/ superiors / customers etc
Emotional Intelligence (EI or EQ) has become a critical leadership trait. Leaders with high EI are self-aware, manage their emotions effectively, and foster motivation and resilience within their teams— skills that technology cannot replicate.
“Work gets done through people, and if you’re unable to work with your own and other’s emotions, it becomes very difficult to get things done productively and sustainably.” according to UK-based Amy Bradley, an adjunct professor of management and leadership at Hult International Business School in Massachusetts, and author of The Human Moment.

Stephen Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” remains a cornerstone in personal development.

Self-awareness and emotional regulation
Developing empathy and interpersonal skills
Building resilient, motivated teams

Module THREE: Leadership versus Management - How do they differ? - and when to use each one
4-HOUR MODULE ONLINE via Teams
“What is Leadership?…and what is Management?…and how do they differ? + Time Management & Prioritising”
As Peter Drucker (of whom it is said that he was “the man who invented management” ) once said… “Leadership is about doing the right things…and Management is about doing things right!”
This module explores both aspects and lays down some career enriching concepts of being a great Time Manager.
Delegates will have some pre-module preparation work to do for this course and they will learn how to prioritise their time applying the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Teams and Leaders concepts of; “BE PROACTIVE”, “PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST” and “BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND” The task will be to analyse their time management – and to identify in which “Quadrant” they are spending most of their time as they categorise their time management allocation utilising Theodore Roosevelts’ model of the “4 D’s of Management” – “Do it now”, “Defer”, “Delegate” or “Dump”
Delegates will learn one of the MOST Critical Arts of Leadership…. the Art of Delegation.
Knowing How?, When?, Why? and to whom should you delegate are some of the key skills in the area of Time Management and People Development
Module FOUR: Creating and Developing High-Performing, Emotionally Intelligent, SUPER Teams
2-DAY MODULE – at your location
Perhaps you can’t quite assess why it is that a Group of Great People are, sometimes, unable to make a Great TEAM?
Even Emotionally Intelligent SUPER Teams need regular “Effective Health Checks” and occasionally, re-visioning or re-alignment to ensure that it’s operating at its optimum performance level.
Emotional intelligence or EI is the ability to recognise, understand and handle your own emotions, and those of the people around you. A development of Self Awareness and Other Awareness makes E.I. the critical personal development tool for those wanting to excel at Leadership and those wanting to create, motivate, inspire or participate in High Performing Teams.

Module TWELVE: Building Resilience with PERMA and the application of Positive Psychology Concepts
Managing Stress, Maintaining Wellbeing & Performing Under Pressure
1-DAY MODULE – at your location
This module can also be delivered via blended-learning – Teams Video Call for Groups or Individuals
“Stress is likely to become the most dangerous emerging risk to business in the early part of the 21st century”… so says the Association of Insurance and Risk Managers. In this workshop we discuss the Role of Emotional Intelligence in Building Resilience and maintaining Performance under Pressure.
High stress is a leading cause of employee turnover. In the UK, 8 in 10 employees would consider leaving their jobs due to excessive stress, according to research by Unum UK.
For leaders managing teams (they report the highest levels of stress and burnout), stress management is even more critical. Managerial mental health sets the tone for the entire organisation’s well-being.
Stress Management training focuses on:
Personal stress management techniques
Building resilience for leaders and teams
Creating a culture focused on well-being
Why are Stress Management skills for leaders important?
Leaders who model resilience and prioritise well-being inspire their teams to do the same. Training equips leaders to navigate challenges calmly, fostering healthier, more engaged workplaces.
This practical workshop has been designed to address the elements of the PERMA model as we build towards a healthy work / life balance. We will look at how stress can be managed positively (to produce achievement, meaning and relational quality) as well as how to avoid unnecessary dis-stress. There will be space for participants to intelligently assess and reflect on their current well-being. And there will be exercises and habits shared that can facilitate deliberate self-leadership towards “Performance under Pressure”.
