Business professionals and leaders interested in improving their effectiveness in creating and sustaining relationships with staff, colleagues and customers; maximizing their personal effectiveness and professional results. Others attend to reflect on and increase their professional impact in their company, area of expertise or to consider their professional legacy. Participants are typically life-long learners, highly educated and/or experienced, analytical, time-conscious, driven, business-minded, and results/impact-oriented.

EIW’s proven methodology has been offered in the personal development arena since the early 1970s, and was first introduced to the professional realm as Principle-Driven Leaders in 2008 as an accredited graduate course at Cornell University’s Institute of Public Administration. Today, the portfolio of programs has been expanded to include an introduction to the concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI). The practical EIW toolset builds on this benchmark, providing a framework that quickly assists a professional in building deeper and stronger relationships, individual development plans, and with better balancing the pressures of work and home life. The toolset institutes multiple ways to recharge and recover immediately from the most difficult situations, supports better empowerment of teams, and increases your effectiveness as a leader in the workplace.

EIW graduates are recognized for their ability to inspire and motivate, to think creatively, to mentor peers and direct reports, to drive innovation, to establish and expand a collaborative culture, and to increase employee satisfaction and retention. This is accomplished through an internally-identified value set, improved interpersonal communications, and the alignment of purpose for the individual, the team, and the organization—all in service to delivering comprehensive and overarching success.
