Emotional intelligence is a skill you can build over time.

With intentional practice and reflection, anyone can improve their ability to regulate emotions, respond with empathy, and engage more meaningfully with others.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE 360-DEGREE ASSESSMENT & TRAINING

A 360-Degree Assessment provides a well-rounded view of an individual’s emotional intelligence by gathering feedback from multiple perspectives, not just their own. In addition to self-evaluation, this process typically includes input from a leader or supervisor, peers, direct reports, and even external stakeholders.

Each participant rates the individual across the core components of emotional intelligence offering a more comprehensive picture of both strengths and areas for development.

Rather than requiring specific numerical scores, we recommend ranking the components from 1 to 4, with 1 representing the area where the individual received the highest feedback overall. This simplified method helps reduce pressure on raters, promote honest responses, and increase psychological safety, especially in team or workplace settings.
