Emotional Intelligence Assessments
Empowering Individuals and Organizations
Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the capacity to recognize, understand, manage, and effectively utilize emotions in oneself and others. It encompasses skills such as emotional awareness, empathy, self-regulation, and social adeptness. Enhancing EI can be particularly transformative as it can lead to significant personal and professional growth. Similarly, organizations that foster EI within their teams often experience improved collaboration, leadership, and overall performance.
