Welcome to My EQ. What is My EQ?

My EQ is a self - development program that will help you to develop your EQ which is short for Emotional Quotient or Emotional Intelligence. According to research, Emotional Intelligence, or EQ, accounts for 67% of the abilities deemed necessary for superior performance in leaders.

My EQ is based on a personality assessment which profiles your personality traits. Your personality traits will both promote and constrain your emotional intelligence.

My EQ provides you with a multitude of tools, processes and resources that will enable you to grow as a leader by reducing counterproductive behavior that constrain your emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness; and increase productive behaviors that will enhance your effectiveness.

My EQ offers a deep and a shallow dive into developing more emotionally intelligent behavior. The Deep Dive is for leaders who:

  • Have a strong motivation to develop their leadership capability.
  • Are in a position to commit to regular structured personal development activities.
  • Want to understand how psychological factors play a fundamental role in driving organisational performance.
  • Want to be equipped to transform the way they lead, coach and develop others.

The Deep Dive consists of all 3 Modules and 3 Journeys offered on this website and 16 Expert Guides that are mailed to you. The Deep Dive requires substantial commitment and consistent effort on those who embrace it.

The Shallow Dive is for leaders who:

  • Are looking for a first step in getting to know themselves better.
  • Have limited time to invest in their development.
  • Currently have a moderate rather than strong need or motivation to invest heavily into their personal development.

The Shallow Dive consists of a Competency Styles Report. It provides you with insights into how your personality influences your behavior as a leader in 4 key areas.

Are the Deep and Shallow Dives mutually exclusive?

No, there are various ways of doing My EQ.

  • You can for instance just do the Shallow Dive, i.e. simply work with the Competency Styles Report.
  • You can work through the Preparation Module (Module 1) on this website, together with the Competency Styles Report.
  • You can start with the Competency Styles Report and then when you feel more ready do the Deep Dive.
  • You can partly do the Deep Dive, for instance by only carrying out some of the development recommendations we make, or by only doing a Deep Dive on some of your development areas.
  • You can systematically do the whole My EQ  Journey Deep Dive, i.e. all three modules and all three journeys.

Other permutations are also possible. The point is that you should make My EQ your own, and use it to your best advantage, taking your own personal circumstances and needs into account. Whichever way you decide to use My EQ, you will find that you have been provided with a rich source of Tools, Processes and Resources that you will be able to use for your development as a leader for many years to come.

As a next step, we suggest that you take a few minutes to work through the Shallow Dive and Deep Dive pages. They will provide you with an overview of what each dive entails. This will help you to decide how you want to go forward with My EQ.
