EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN LEADERSHIP
Group Programme for Leaders Who Want to Connect Deeply, Decide Wisely, and Communicate Powerfully.
Lead with greater composure, clarity and confidence—even when pressure builds.
What happens to your leadership when pressure takes over?
Perhaps you recognise some of these moments...
Your frustration speaks before you do. A team member makes the same mistake again, and your tone becomes sharper than you intended.
Anxiety makes you hesitate. You need to challenge a colleague or raise a concern with someone senior, but worry about their reaction keeps you quiet.
Everything starts to feel urgent. You struggle to step back, weigh up your options and decide what genuinely needs your attention.
You say 'yes' when you need to set a limit. You want to be supportive, but your own workload and resentment keep growing.
Recognising these patterns gives you a starting point for understanding what you need and what you want to change.
This programme helps you develop the emotional intelligence to understand your reactions, manage pressure and communicate more assertively. You’ll explore how to remain thoughtful and effective in demanding situations, while recognising your limits and protecting your wellbeing.

A practical programme for executives who want to strengthen the emotional side of their leadership.
What is the Emotional Quotient (EQi-2.0) Psychometric Test?
Developing your emotional intelligence starts with understanding where you are today. The EQ-i 2.0® is a scientifically validated assessment that gives you an overall Emotional Quotient (EQ) score, alongside scores across 15 emotional intelligence skills—including assertiveness, empathy, impulse control and stress tolerance. Your personalised report helps you recognise your strengths and identify areas for development. Emotional intelligence can be developed, and completing this optional assessment before the programme gives you a clear starting point to focus your learning. As you put your learning into practice, you can develop your emotional intelligence and repeat the assessment after the programme to track changes in your scores and identify where you’ve made progress.
Emotional self-awareness - understanding what's happening within you
Example: noticing that you feel threatened by a colleague’s question before you respond defensively.
Impulse control: create space before you act
Example: pausing before sending an angry email or interrupting someone whose view you disagree with.
Stress tolerance: stay effective when demands increase
Example: when several deadlines collide, taking stock and agreeing priorities with your team instead of passing your urgency on to everyone around you.
Assertiveness: express yourself clearly and respectfully
Example: addressing repeated missed deadlines directly, or telling your manager what you can realistically deliver with the resources available.
Empathy: understand others while maintaining expectations
Example: exploring why someone’s performance has changed while being clear about what needs to improve.
Recognising your limits: lead with greater awareness of your wellbeing.
Example: recognising that repeatedly working late and becoming impatient with your team is a signal to review workload and expectations.

Through personal reflection in her sessions, I now have a clear understanding of what drives me in my career, and how I can use this as a framework to progress.

Johanna is an incredible mentor and business coach. My sessions with Johanna were structured around personal career goals, and importantly, how to put them into action. She helps you unpack your values and how you can best shape your career to feel fulfilled, confident, and motivated. I left Johanna's sessions feeling confident and excited about my future!
Johanna is thoughtful, a great listener, and comes with a huge amount of her own business experience which is invaluable. Thank you for your sessions.

The sessions gave me the space to pause, process, and reset. Even though things felt out of my control, I could still choose how I respond.
