EQ-i 2.0® Emotional Intelligence Assessment Consulting
Understand How You Show Up. Strengthen How You Lead.
Technical expertise may help someone become a leader. But how effectively they understand themselves, manage emotions, build relationships, make decisions, and respond under pressure can significantly influence how well they lead others.
Emotional intelligence provides insight into these critical human dimensions of leadership and workplace effectiveness.
mPowered Consultants uses the EQ-i 2.0® and EQ 360® assessments to help leaders and professionals better understand their emotional intelligence and translate those insights into meaningful development.
The goal isn’t simply greater self-awareness.
It’s helping people understand how they show up, how that affects others, and what they can develop to become more effective.
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that influence how we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information effectively.
The EQ-i 2.0® examines emotional intelligence across five composite areas:
Self-Perception
How you understand and evaluate yourself, including self-regard, self-actualization, and emotional self-awareness.
Self-Expression
How effectively you express yourself, including emotional expression, assertiveness, and independence.
Interpersonal
How you develop and maintain relationships through interpersonal relationships, empathy, and social responsibility.
Decision Making
How emotions influence problem-solving, reality testing, and impulse control.
Stress Management
How effectively you manage change, uncertainty, and pressure through flexibility, stress tolerance, and optimism.
Together, these areas provide a comprehensive picture of how emotional and social functioning may influence workplace behavior and effectiveness.ction.
EQ-i 2.0® Assessment & Debrief Session
LeaThe EQ-i 2.0 provides individuals with a detailed assessment of their emotional intelligence across 15 interconnected competencies.
But receiving a report isn’t development.
Our coaching process helps participants understand what their results mean within the context of their work, relationships, leadership responsibilities, and goals.
During an assessment debrief and coaching engagement, participants may explore:
- Emotional intelligence strengths
- Development opportunities
- Leadership behaviors
- Communication patterns
- Relationship effectiveness
- Decision-making
- Responses to pressure and stress
- Adaptability and flexibility
- Potential behavioral blind spots
- Practical development strategies
Participants leave with greater insight into their emotional intelligence and specific actions they can take to strengthen targeted areas.
EQ 360® for Leadership Development
How we see ourselves and how others experience us are not always the same.
The EQ 360® expands emotional intelligence development by incorporating feedback from people who work with the participant, such as managers, peers, direct reports, and other colleagues.
Comparing self-perception with feedback from others can reveal valuable insights.
Leaders can explore questions such as:
- Where do my perceptions align with how others experience me?
- Where might there be meaningful perception gaps?
- Which emotional intelligence capabilities are viewed as strengths?
- Where could changes in my behavior improve my effectiveness?
- How might my leadership style be affecting my team?
When paired with skilled debriefing and coaching, this feedback can provide a powerful foundation for leadership development.
Emotional Intelligence for Leaders
Leadership requires more than knowing what needs to be done.
Leaders must communicate expectations, navigate conflict, make difficult decisions, manage pressure, adapt to change, build relationships, and influence people with different needs and perspectives.
Emotional intelligence development can help leaders strengthen capabilities related to:
- Self-awareness
- Empathy
- Assertiveness
- Relationship management
- Decision-making
- Adaptability
- Stress tolerance
- Emotional expression
- Impulse control
- Problem-solving
- Resilience
- Interpersonal effectiveness
Rather than approaching emotional intelligence as a vague “soft skill,” we help leaders connect specific emotional intelligence capabilities to the situations they encounter at work.
Emotional Intelligence for Teams
Emotional intelligence can also provide a valuable foundation for team development.
Facilitated team experiences can help participants examine how emotional intelligence influences communication, trust, collaboration, conflict, decision-making, and the team’s ability to navigate pressure.
Sessions can be designed for intact teams, leadership teams, or groups participating in a broader development initiative.
Depending on the organization’s needs, emotional intelligence development may be incorporated into workshops, leadership retreats, team development sessions, or ongoing learning experiences.

Our Approach
Assess
We use validated emotional intelligence assessments to establish a meaningful starting point for development.

Participants explore their results and identify patterns, strengths, and potential development opportunities.
Connect
We connect assessment insights to real leadership, workplace, and interpersonal situations.
Develop
Participants identify specific behaviors and strategies they can practice to strengthen targeted emotional intelligence capabilities.
The objective is not simply insight.
It is intentional behavioral development.
Why Work With mPowered Consultants?
Assessment tools are most valuable when they lead to meaningful conversations and practical development.
Our approach combines emotional intelligence assessment with expertise in social psychology, leadership development, coaching, workplace behavior, mindfulness, and organizational change.
This allows us to examine emotional intelligence within the broader context of how people think, interact, respond to pressure, navigate relationships, and lead others.
We help participants move beyond “What does my score mean?”
toward a more useful question:
“What can I do differently because I know this about myself?”
Turn Emotional Intelligence Into Leadership Intelligence
Greater self-awareness is valuable.
Knowing what to do with that awareness is where development begins.
Whether you’re developing an individual leader, strengthening a leadership team, or incorporating emotional intelligence into a broader leadership initiative, mPowered Consultants can help transform assessment insights into practical action.
