HR Professionals & Senior Leaders:

Is the precarious balance of people, profit and the changing landscape keeping you awake at night?

Do you want to improve your leader’s ability to motivate and inspire their teams?

Want your people to be more resilient,  empathetic, agile, adaptable, and inspiring?

 

Developing your leaders to be more emotionally intelligent – resilient, empathetic, adaptable and inspiring

Why we do this

“We believe when leaders  are emotionally intelligent,  they and their people are  happier and more fulfilled,  and get better results for  themselves, their teams and  their organisations.”  

Sue Belton & Anne Taylor 

Successful, technically excellent leaders perform better when they develop their emotional intelligence (EQ). They will become more resilient and empathetic, agile and adaptable, all while having more collaborative conversations.  

EQ Leadership Formula Model 

Our EQ Leadership  Formula Model has been developed through extensive experience and research.  Rooted in neuroscience and mindfulness, it ensures lasting behavioural change.  

You and Your People

WHO YOU ARE – As an HR Professional or Leader, you want to confidently face  the challenges ahead and proactively support, develop and retain your people and be an  ‘employer of choice.’ You and your leaders are smart, technically excellent and have been resilient in this difficult time. You know more is needed to perform through this next phase,  and that EQ or ‘soft skills are integral to success. 

EMOTIONAL FATIGUE 
  • You’re worried about your employees’  well-being, stress levels and mental health.  
  • You’re seeing emotional outbursts, lack of patience and overwhelm and increased absenteeism. 
  • Emotional fatigue and exhaustion are commonplace.  
  • Now leaders need to have new levels of understanding, empathy and patience for their people while also dealing with their own emotional fatigue.  
AVOIDING DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
  • There are pockets of minimal collaboration,  low trust, silos and avoidance of challenging conversations.  
  • Leaders and managers are reluctant to give and receive feedback, ‘tell’ rather than coach resulting in less engagement and empowerment. 
  • More ‘difficult conversations’ are needed,  for more effective decision-making, greater influencing, authenticity and cohesion. 
RIGIDITY + INFLEXIBILITY
  • There’s a relentless pace, constant change;  processes and people are not adapting fast  enough.  
  • Practices and mindsets need to be more agile. 
  • Decision making and bureaucracy stall innovation. 
  • Leaders feel pressure to hit targets, all while addressing the macro issues of climate,  sustainability, pandemics and inclusion. 
  • You risk falling behind the competition and ruining your reputation.

Testimonials

Ina V. Hristova, Head of People at Zuhlke Engineering LtdHead of People at Zuhlke Engineering Ltd

The last 14 months of working with Sue have been a wonderful and transformative experience, personally for me and for my organisation.
Sue is an amazing mentor, coach and person – she doesn’t shy away from taking you out of your comfort zone, asking powerful questions and prompt the kind of thinking that we don’t all do in our routine day-to-day, which is the space where growth happens.
She has had a great impact on me personally and professionally and I’m excited for the rest of the journey in growing as a leader, as well as our future business collaborations with her!

Nicola Smith, VP, Global Talent Acquisition at Visual Concepts

Sue is a leader in her field and has a high degree of professionalism when conducting meetings and trainings. She managed to bring out the best in the team especially with on the spot coaching during sessions. It comes naturally to her and that is reflected in her work. I would recommend Sue as a coach and a trainer to any individual or company for larger group sessions, she can adapt easily and accommodates your needs.

Andrew Thomas, Head of HR / HR Director

I’ve really enjoyed working with Sue. An extremely positive lady who has an infectious style for just getting things done. A classic example of this was her adoption of the current Zoom technology to create break out rooms in a recent coaching workshop she and Anne ran for our executive management team. We all enjoyed the buzz and anticipation not knowing who we were going to be paired with for the exercises and as if by magic Sue appeared as an extra coach to give us feedback and pointers for improvement. A great use of technology to make a difference.

Andrew Thomas, Head of HR / HR Director

She’s certainly taken me out of my comfort zone, but in a good way, leading to real improvements in my approach to leadership and my own coaching style.
