Emotional Intelligence Assessment

Emotional Intelligence (EIQ) Assessment

Create a positive and thriving work environment.

What Is Emotional Intelligence (EIQ)?

Emotional intelligence is our ability to notice emotions—our own and those of others—and use that awareness to guide how we think, respond, and lead. It involves recognizing complex feelings, understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, and choosing actions that support growth, clarity, and stronger relationships.

Individuals with strong emotional intelligence can:

Tune in to their own feelings and the feelings of others
Discern between complex feelings and label them accurately
Use emotional information to support clear, unbiased thinking
Manage their emotional responses to achieve goals and adapt effectively

Emotional Intelligence Can Be Developed

Emotional intelligence isn’t fixed.

Research shows that we can strengthen it over time, and the impact is significant. Many experts attribute a large portion of our long-term personal and professional success to how well we understand and manage emotions.

The Emotional Intelligence (EIQ) Assessment gives leaders a clear starting point by helping them:

Become more aware of the four core areas of emotional intelligence
Identify strengths, blind spots, and practical opportunities for growth
Use a simple framework for building personal and professional effectiveness

The Emotional Intelligence Report

The Emotional Intelligence (EIQ-2) Report

Leaders receive a comprehensive 32-page report that is both insightful and easy to use.

The report includes:

Five sections with clear, visual infographics for quick understanding
User-specific data for each of the four EIQ areas and 20 subcategories
Qualitative analysis that explains what each score means in practical terms
Personalized recommendations for growth in each subcategory

This structure provides leaders with actionable guidance they can apply immediately to improve communication, decision-making, and team leadership.

Testimonial

“Sylvia, you have really gone above and beyond; you’ve been a pleasure to work with. The Motivators Assessments you provided were a fascinating addition to our team building event, and provided the springboard for lively discussion. The team members enjoyed sharing about themselves, agreeing, and disagreeing with various results, discussing how generalizations apply and don’t, and guessing each other’s types. We were able to learn more about where each team member is coming from.”

Testimonial

“I designed an internal leadership academy for our staff, and the leadership team refers to their DISC Leadership Report throughout the course. The report Sylvia Melena provides is great because it is comprehensive and includes a leadership aspect too. Everyone is loving it. I have integrated DISC into every session we do, so they are really living and breathing it.”

Who's Behind LeadershipStrength.com?

Hi, I’m Sylvia Melena.

I’m the Founder and CEO of Melena Consulting Group and the international award-winning and best-selling leadership author of Supportive Accountability: How to Inspire People and Improve Performance. I’m also an Association for Talent Development (ATD) Master Instructional Designer™.

With a Master of Arts in Leadership and Organizational Studies and 20 years experience in the trenches of management, I have coached, developed, and trained hundreds of managers and supervisors in person and have impacted thousands more through my work.

My leadership philosophy has been featured by the Society of Human Resources Management HR Today, the Human Performance Association, Entrepreneur, LEADx, Fit Small Business, and other outlets.

And I Still Work on My Leadership

You see, strong leadership is a work in progress. And it’s all in the approach.

In my early career, I was frequently blunt and sometimes even rude. But I was fortunate to work with people who cared about me enough to give me honest feedback.

I particularly remember a brutally honest reaction from a co-worker like it was yesterday.

I don’t remember what I said to trigger him or how I said it, but I vividly recall the horror on his face and his shocking response to my affront: “Shoot from the hip, why don’t you! Next time, try using a little tact!”

I was stunned, momentarily speechless, and in disbelief. And I’m never speechless.

I didn’t know what he meant. So, I asked him to explain, and he did.

Thanks to his honest feedback and the support of others, I had an amazing 20-year leadership career in health and human services. I had the honor of directly managing workforces from about 80 to 300 employees and supporting performance for up to 1,400 in my senior leadership roles.

And most people enjoyed working with me and giving their best.

Yes, I said, “Most.”

The truth is, not everyone will enjoy working with you no matter how much you adapt your leadership communication. And that’s okay. Not everyone will like you. But that’s not your goal anyways.

Your goal is to be the best leader you can be, create a great workplace, promote accountability, and achieve measurable results. These are the things I intentionally worked on to elevate my leadership.

Because of my ongoing journey, I’m a firm believer in the power of positive feedback and supportive accountability to transform lives. But I also know it’s hard sometimes.

That’s why I’m excited to provide my proprietary Supportive Accountability Leadership Training. It will help the supervisors and managers on your team strengthen their approach.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

Warmest regards,

Sylvia Melena
