Sample Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Consulting topics for Organizations

EQ for Emotional Management

In EQ for Emotional Management, you will learn, practice, and understand the Foundations of Emotional Intelligence – Self-Awareness, Regulation, Motivation, Empathy, and Social Skill. You will come away with awareness of your own blocks to Emotional Intelligence and what your triggers are – along with practical steps to resolve them. You will end with developing Active Listening, along with increasing your Empathy and Confidence in the process. Bonus! Comes with Emotional Intelligence Assessment. 

EQ for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Do you experience stress, overwhelm, or exhaustion? Then this is for you! We look what happens in our bodies and emotions under stress. Next, we build our own definitions of resilience. We’ll leverage our resilience and EQ to overcome obstacles to build healthy boundaries and recuperative spaces. Last, we will look at the common components, warning signs, and how to recover from the growing epidemic of Burnout. 

EQ For Employee Engagement + Relationship 

This course is designed for anyone who wants to more than a paycheck from where they spend the majority of their time. We start by harnessing the power of Emotional Intelligence to create more bandwidth for empathy and trust in relationships. We’ll then step back to apply a framework to identify the support system you need to thrive – at work and home.  And because so much of us are dedicated to helping others – as parents, managers, caregivers, and community members, we’ll look at the growing prevalence of Compassion Fatigue and how to address it. We’ll practice our effective communication skills through a confidence-building game. Last, we will look at a common communication “trap” called the Drama Triangle and put all or our tools together to assert healthy boundaries.

Speaker Resume

Brighter than the Sun (Keynote)

I’m just a helper. I’m just a parent. I’m just (exhausted) . I’m just….

Sound familiar? Well, lurking behind that ordinary “just” is an extraordinary helpful soul with a big heart who uses her unique Genius to create BIG Joy and impact, every day!

BUT, when we feel like we’re nothing special, it’s hard to think BIG. It’s hard to be at our best. We Survive instead of Thrive. And no wonder, only 24% of people know who ‘the real them’ is and just 16% feel that they can bring their real selves to where they work.

What if there was a way to banish the guilt, reclaim our worth, resolve our stress, actually ask for help, and be unafraid to live our joyful, weird, peculiar Genius?

What would happen then? We might just go from Ordinary to Extraordinary. We might just see our peculiar genius, just find joy every day, and just save our own little corners of the world.

So, how can we get there? Joyology! 

Join Joyologist, storyteller, and emotional intelligence professional, Heidi Esther, as she takes you on the ride of your life. Infused with playful exercises, true stories, and practical steps, you’ll be engaged and inspired. The best part? When you get off, you’ll feel empowered and invigorated to live your joy and embrace your peculiar genius to make your Extraordinary magic – because you’ll know the best ride of your life is yet to come!

Speaking Reviews & Testimonials

What’s it like to work with me?

Hi, I’m Francie Hinrichsen, founder of Founding Females. Every year, our company hosts a women’s entrepreneur conference. I handpicked Heidi to speak at our event for several reasons.

First, I need speakers who are authentic and relatable. Heidi definitely is. Her messages create transformation so our audience can apply Heidi’s ideas to take them from where they are now to who they hope to become as people.

Second, as an event organizer and a business owner, it’s important to me that our speakers are dependable. Heidi definitely is. She does what she says she’s going to do. She comes prepared. She communicates well up until the event. She knows her stuff. Truly, she’s a professional. 

She’s thought through not just how to be wildly successful in her role, but she’s also thought through how her role contributes to the overall success of the event. 

That’s a very rare quality you don’t find in many speakers. With many speakers, it’s all about the spotlight being on them. With Heidi, her focus is how her role contributes to the overarching mission of the organization, it’s like music to my ears. And because of that, my investment in hiring her yields returns, it’s not just a cost.

That’s why I’m so glad I chose her to speak at our Founding Females event and I would encourage you to do the same.

Francie Hinrichsen, Founding Females

It’s always so fun to hear Heidi speak. She brings in a nice sense of humor with vulnerability and empathy and she can really relate to you. Getting the opportunity to listen to her speak is always a gift. I always feel like I can leave with some sort of aha moment or a good takeaway to remember.

– Danielle Scarzello, Program Manager, gBeta Distillery Labs

People leave Heidi’s speaking engagements feeling very inspired, motivated, and empowered. You can’t walk away from listening to Heidi speak without feeling like you’re gonna change the world! She makes you feel like you can do it and will support you every step of the way. 

–Lesa Brandt, Annual Giving Director, Parkland Community College 

Our afternoon conference was dragging on. But when Heidi started, the whole energy changed. They were laughing. They woke up. She has a smile a mile wide! She brought both energy, a feeling of support, and created the camaraderie in the room that you hope to get at a conference…and we certainly did! Heidi was a perfect cap to our day!  – Jackie N.
