Elevating Effectiveness with Customized Emotional Intelligence Development
Assess. Align. Elevate EQ.
Welcome to EQsential!
Welcome! This year marks EQsential's 10th anniversary, and it reflects more than a decade of advancing the strategic use of emotional intelligence across education and organizations. With over 15 years of experience in both secondary and higher education, as well as extensive work in organizational development, I've seen how emotional intelligence-measured through EQ-serves as a critical differentiator for performance, leadership, and well-being.
At EQsential, we don't treat emotional intelligence as a "nice to have." We position it as an essential capability that drives measurable personal and professional outcomes.
As an expert in emotional intelligence, I design and deliver results-driven coaching, certification, and training solutions that translate insight into action. My work focuses on strengthening leadership capacity, improving team dynamics, increasing resilience, and supporting cultures where people thrive. As EQsential enters its next decade, our mission remains clear: equip people and organizations with the emotional intelligence needed to meet complex demands and achieve sustainable success.
