Emotional Intelligence In Action

Training and Coaching Activities for Leaders and Managers

Emotional Intelligence in Action shows how to tap the power of EI through forty-six exercises that can be used to build effective emotional skills and create real change. The workouts are designed to align with the four leading emotional intelligence measures – EQ-I(R) or EQ-360(TM), ECI 360, MSCEIT(TM), and EQ Map(R), – or can be used independently or as part of a wider leadership and management development program. All of the book’s forty-six exercises offer experiential learning scenarios that have been proven to enhance emotional intelligence competencies.

“Provides useful tools for trainers and practitioners who want to work on enhancing their clients’ emotional and social intelligence skills. It presents a series of “workouts’ that make a great addition to the consultant’s EI toolbox.”
– Steven J. Stein, coauthor, The EQ Edge: Emotional Intellence and Your Success; CEO, Multi-Health Systems

“An excellent roadmap to the field of emotional intelligence combined with experienced exercises designed to enhance self-awareness and develop the skills critical to success in both our personal and professional lives.”
