Why Should I Become an EQ-i 2.0 Certified Practitioner?

In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, success isn't just about what you know; it's also about how well you understand and regulate your emotions. Emotional intelligence has become a key factor of personal and professional success, and the EQ-i 2.0 is the gold standard suite of assessment tools in assessing and developing individual and group emotional intelligence.

If you're a Human Resources consultant, executive coach, or corporate trainer, here are ten compelling reasons why it may be worthwhile seriously considering investing in becoming an EQ-i 2.0 Certified Practitioner:

1. Stay Ahead of the Curve: As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and dynamic, the demand for credible professionals with expertise in emotional intelligence is rising, and will likely continue to do so. The demand from business leaders, business owners, educational establishments and charities needing a proven, practical solution to many organisational, team and individual challenges shows no sign or dropping. By becoming certified in the EQ-i 2.0 suite of assessment tools, you position yourself as a leader in this crucial, often misunderstood field.

2. Enhance Your Professional Skill Set: Adding EQ-i 2.0 certification to your repertoire and client offering equips you with powerful tools, techniques and resources to help individuals and teams thrive, rather than drift or just survive. You'll gain a vast insight into human behaviour and emotions that can transform your approach to coaching and training.

3. Improve Performance: Extensive studies have repeatedly shown that individuals with higher emotional intelligence perform better in their roles, exhibit stronger leadership skills, and enjoy greater job satisfaction. Teams which share a balanced level of emotional intelligence also perform more effectively, collaborate more willingly and confidently communicate even the most uncomfortable messages that deserve to be communicated. The skill is that such communication occurs healthily. As an EQ-i 2.0 Certified Practitioner, you'll be able to support individuals and teams to unlock the full potential.

4. Build Stronger Relationships: Emotional intelligence is the foundation of effective communication and relationship building. By mastering the EQ-i 2.0 framework, you'll empower yourself and others to more easily navigate disagreement and conflict, collaborate more effectively, and foster a more positive work culture.

By helping leaders and teams develop their emotional intelligence, you can drive up productivity, fast-track innovation, enhance decision making and profitability.
