When utilized in a coaching relationship, assessment tools can provide a coach with a more comprehensive understanding of their client. The assessment data we capture can be very helpful when it comes to defining specific goals, establishing a personal development and coaching plan, and guiding coaching discussions.
If you have completed assessments elsewhere (i.e. for leadership development programs or other purposes within your organization), a coach can often help you to incorporate this information into your personal coaching plan. Used appropriately, assessment information can enhance the coaching experience and, ultimately, your ability to realize your leadership goals and achieve greater success for your organization. Assessments, paired with your coach’s knowledge and experience, provide information that can bring greater awareness to your strengths, communications styles, behaviour types and areas of development.
Whether you work in a start-up or an established organization, if you are providing leadership development opportunities to your team and endeavouring to build a culture of respect and trust, leverage the opportunity to strengthen your people through a better understanding of their Emotional Intelligence. Both individual and 360 assessments can be helpful in providing greater clarity, understanding and synergy to teams.
Emotional Intelligence Assessments
The future of the workplace hinges on fostering a high level of emotional intelligence. When people demonstrate a high Emotional Quotient (EQ) they tend to be stronger leaders -- individuals who are conscious of their own emotional states and in-tune with the emotions of others.
Emotionally intelligent leaders understand and regulate their feelings; achieve greater wisdom about themselves and others, understand the impact they have on the people around them, show up as their best selves, bring out the best in people, and create a positive workplace culture.
At HR Alliance, we offer both EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 Assessments to our clients.
EQ-i 2.0
The EQ-i 2.0 assessment provides a reliable measure of self-perceived emotional intelligence. The assessment measures specific competencies that are integral to overall well being and can impact performance, emotional and social functioning.
EQ 360
The EQ 360 report provides a more comprehensive analysis by having those who work with you provide input. This assessment allows us to develop a complete profile, and hone in on those areas that can lead you to transformative leadership.
EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 Assessments can be utilized to assist in various areas of your organization:
Conflict Management
Coaching
Engagement Strategies
Leadership Development
Employee Development
Succession Planning
