Leadership Development, the People Intelligence Way

We at People Intelligence believe that at the very core of successful leadership is Emotional Intelligence, and the foundation of Emotional Intelligence is self-awareness and self-management. Therefore, we approach leadership development from those perspectives. Social-awareness and relationship management (modifying our behaviors to interact more constructively with others) round out our overall approach to coaching and workshop facilitation. 

People Intelligence incorporates the best practices of all the leading experts in the sciences of neurology, emotions, and behavior to help others recognize the impact of their emotions and if required, redirect them towards more constructive behavior. It’s all about understanding where behaviors originate and then identifying alternative ways of expression. Once we understand why we do what we do, our ability to choose our behaviors will follow.

Leadership development, the People Intelligence Way incorporates decades of practical corporate leadership experience to develop sustainable leadership growth and change through a combination of multi-modal approaches:

  • "Maggie and Mike were excellent at engaging. It’s material that I’ve been exposed to before, but never in a comprehensive manner. It has increased my awareness of how my emotional state and it’s physical manifestations affect my colleagues."
