Psychometric Assessments: The EQ-i 2.0
I administer the EQ-I 2.0 tool when working with clients, in order to get a snapshot of an individual (or team)'s emotional intelligence skills to begin with. You can download an example report here.
It is the world’s leading emotional intelligence test, with over 25 years of research and experience behind it. Tens of thousands of users in Fortune 500, government, military, non-profit, athletic, entertainment, financial services, pharmaceutical, policing, healthcare, legal, higher education, consulting and leadership attest to the quality of the EQ-i 2.0. It is trusted as one of the most validated emotional intelligence tools available.
While personality tests help people gain self-awareness and insight into themselves, personality traits – such as introversion and conscientiousness – are less coachable because they are stable. However, people can use the EQ-i 2.0 to develop skills that help them perform more effectively regardless of their innate personality.
Emotional intelligence skills are critical for building relationships and teams, resolving conflict, retaining staff, leading effectively, and building resilience.

Emotional Intelligence Training & Development
Emotional intelligence - the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and to navigate the emotions of those around you - is one of the most significant predictors of success in both work and life. More than IQ, more than technical skill, it shapes how we lead, communicate, make decisions, and build relationships.
As a certified Emotional Intelligence practitioner I offer EQ-i 2.0 assessments, one-to-one coaching, candidate evaluation, and workshops for individuals, teams and organisations.
The EQ-i 2.0 Assessment
The EQ-i 2.0 is the world's leading measurement tool for Emotional Intelligence, used by organisations and practitioners globally. It measures your EI across 15 key areas - including self-awareness, assertiveness, empathy, stress tolerance and impulse control - and produces a detailed 21-page report showing exactly where your strengths lie and where there is room to grow.
Unlike personality tests that simply describe who you are, the EQ-i 2.0 measures skills that can genuinely be developed. That's what makes it such a powerful tool - it doesn't just give you a snapshot, it gives you a roadmap.
1-2-1 EI Coaching
Receiving your EQ-i 2.0 report is just the beginning. In our one-to-one coaching sessions, we work through your results together - unpacking what they mean for you specifically, setting meaningful goals for development, and working through any blocks that are getting in the way.
This isn't a one-size-fits-all process. Whether you're a leader wanting to manage more effectively, a professional navigating a difficult workplace dynamic, or someone who simply wants to understand themselves better, we'll tailor the work to what matters most to you.
Candidate Evaluation for Hiring Managers
Hiring has never felt higher stakes. With employment law making it increasingly difficult and costly to part ways with the wrong hire, getting the decision right first time has never been more important. A poor hiring decision doesn't just affect the individual - it affects team morale, productivity, and ultimately your bottom line.
The EQ-i 2.0 gives hiring managers a significant advantage at the final stage of the process. I administer the assessment with your shortlisted candidates and provide you with a detailed report outlining each candidate's emotional intelligence profile - their strengths, their development areas, and crucially, the specific areas worth probing in interview.
It won't tell you who to hire. What it will do is make sure you're asking the right questions, with the full picture in front of you, before you make one of the most consequential decisions a manager can make.
Emotional Intelligence Workshops
I offer a wide range of EI workshops, from introductory sessions for teams who are new to the subject, to bespoke programmes designed around the specific needs and challenges of your organisation.
For teams, I can pull group EI reports showing your mean scores across all 15 competencies - giving you a genuinely data-led view of how your team operates collectively, where your shared strengths are, and where investing in development will have the most impact.
Workshops are interactive, engaging and grounded in real-world application. The goal isn't just to understand emotional intelligence in theory - it's to leave with practical insight you can actually use.
I've worked with organisations of all sizes, from small start-ups to FTSE 100 companies.
Whether you're an individual looking to grow, a leader building a stronger team, or a hiring manager trying to make a confident decision, emotional intelligence development is one of the highest-return investments you can make.
