Learning Outcomes Student Profiles Program Schedule Instructor Bio Success Stories Register Now
Program Overview
While most executives and managers focus on developing their technical and functional expertise, successful leaders recognize that it can be even more important to develop a high Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ) – their ability to understand, develop, and positively motivate themselves, as well as effectively communicate with and motivate others in positive, impactful ways. Exceptional leaders move and inspire us by intelligently tapping into the most basic of all human characteristics — emotion. Emotional Intelligence for Leaders is a unique, engaged learning experience in which you will learn how to apply your EQ skills in a team environment. Based on feedback from the Emotional Intelligence Assessments completed by your team members, you will develop your ability to identify areas for improvement, recognize how your EQ influences others, and how yours and team members patterns, behaviors, and motivations can positively impact performance and success. These competencies will enhance your decision making and communication skills, increase your capacity to manage stress and conflict, magnify your empathy to build relationships of trust and mutual respect, and strengthen your ability to drive outstanding performance by yourself and your team. The EQ for Leaders program includes expert instruction, group discussions, reflective exercises, 360 degree leadership and emotional intelligence assessments, a personal program manual and workbook, and other engaged learning activities to help you understand how to refine your leadership style and realize your true leadership potential. This program builds upon the fundamental EQ concepts and techniques covered in the EQ for Professionals program, and should be taken after completing that program.

Success Stories
"I'd been searching for a consultant to help me elevate the corporate culture of my business.

Her instruction and counseling in conflict resolution, eliminating drama, and in a variety of other mission critical areas has helped us create an overall positive and productive business atmosphere. We continue to consult with her regularly and we value her insight and guidance." – Dr. Doug Toole, DPM Owner & Partner \| Utah Foot and Ankle “I had lived most of my life letting life live me. Seeing everything as a fire I needed to put out, having multiple jobs at one time, and self-sacrificing in order to feel valued, I struggled to keep everything in balance. Through the Awaken techniques, Sandra has shown me a better way that allows me to intentionally choose the life I want. Now, I am able to create more time and more money, and choose healthier relationships. The most important relationship being with myself!” – Michael Keithley Parts & Accessories Manager \| Menlove Auto “As a golden ticket winner on American Idol, I was close to achieving my dream. What I discovered instead was how self-sabotage had been controlling and preventing me from achieving my goals my entire life. The emotional intelligence methods taught by Sandra have made me aware of the thoughts and feelings that drive my destructive behavior. I am now able to observe my patterns objectively, rather than personalizing them and feeling that I am defective, and I am able to transform self-sabotaging reactions before they take me down. The tools have enabled me to overcome shame, forgive myself, and choose another to the life I love – I’m even able to sing again!“ – Brittney Shields Former Contestant \| American Idol “For years, my search to discover a way to change the unproductive emotional patterns that limited me were in vain. The countless books, seminars, counseling, and thousands of dollars spent were of little help. That changed when I attended the course on AWAKENING Emotional Intelligence taught by Sandra Weller. Her insights, instruction, and the tools she helped me implement were a real connection for me. The program proved to be the beginning of new patterns, relationships, and opportunities that I had previously thought impossible.” – Philip Hansen Retired \| Geneva Rock "I have experienced PTSD most of my life, without understanding how early trauma was affecting every aspect of my life – physically, emotionally and mentally, including my business and personal relationships. With Sandra's program I have learned how to cognitively be more present to life and to breathe freely again. I did not realize how much lighter and healthier I could feel. I am now able to stay more focused on operating a successful business and creating healthy relationships that support me." – Kent Murray Owner \| Single-Shot Trucking, Inc.
