EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Step Up helps mission-driven leaders at all levels identify and take action on opportunities for growth.
Our coaching centers on emotional intelligence (EQ) as the foundation for growth, recognizing the critical role emotions play in motivation and collaboration.
EQ skills support effective change management and relationship-building, essential for creating sustainable organizational change.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a practical, learnable set of skills that can help you take action to grow as a leader, no matter your title. Step Up utilizes the Six Seconds EQ model, focusing on self awareness, self management, and self direction.
3 EQ Tips for Growth:

Observe yourself to uncover patterns. At the end of the day or week, take note of the events that brought you joy, stress, anger, fear. What led to those emotions? How will you use that insight to plan next week?
Feel with them, not for them. Empathy doesn’t mean you have to take on everyone’s emotions. You can build connection AND have boundaries. In fact, that is the only way to sustainably practice empathy.
Live your purpose. What are you doing right now that is part of your purpose? What are you doing that is distracting you from living that purpose? How can you reconfigure and reprioritize your week to better live within your purpose?
