Self-awareness

I notice what I’m thinking and feeling in the moment — before it drives what I do.

Self-regard

I talk to myself like someone worth backing, even after a miss.

Self-management

Under pressure, I choose my response instead of just reacting.

Social awareness

I catch what people are feeling, not just what they’re saying.

Social regard

I treat other people’s worth and potential as real — especially people unlike me.

Social management

I influence through trust — people move with me, not because they have to.

The 6 Domains of Emotional Intelligence™ framework diagram
1

Self-awareness

Recognize your own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — look into a clean mirror.

2

Self-regard

Believe in your own worth and potential, and talk to yourself like you mean it.

3

Self-management

Regulate what you think, feel, and do — give yourself the yellow card before you act.

4

Social awareness

Read what's happening in others — become a dual processor for content and emotion.

5

Social regard

Hold others' worth and potential as real — bridge first, then bond.

6

Social management

Influence others honestly — through trust, not tricks and power tools.

1

Module 1 — Introduction: feeling machines that think

Reframe emotions as central to performance and lay out the 6 Domains as a learnable model, not a fixed personality trait.

2

Module 2 — Internal theater: self-awareness, self-regard, self-management

Work the three domains you run on yourself — look into a clean mirror, talk to yourself like you mean it, and give yourself the yellow card before you react.

3

Module 3 — External theater: social awareness, social regard, social management

Work the three domains you run on others — read content and emotion as a dual processor, bridge before you bond, and influence through trust instead of tricks and power tools.

4

Module 4 — EQindex® report and action plan

Read your EQindex® results across all six domains, then leave with one target behavior per domain to keep developing after the room clears.

The learner journey

From self-awareness to influence.

The course isn’t content — it’s a sequence. Each stage does something the next one depends on.

Day 0

Assess

See it before you change it.

Development starts from the truth, not a hunch. Every learner baselines with EQindex® — where they’re strong, where they’re stuck — so the course lands on a real gap instead of a generic lesson.

Half-day

Learn

Learn it against your own results.

Lessons tie the framework to the learner’s own scores, and built-in reflection does the encoding — people remember what they connect to their own team, not what they’re told.

Days 1–90

Commit

Turn insight into behavior.

Knowing doesn’t change behavior — practice does. Learners leave with “when X, I will Y” commitments and a weekly consistency check-in, thirty days at a time, until it’s habit.

FAQ

Emotional intelligence training, answered.

What is emotional intelligence training for managers?

It's structured development of the skills managers use to read themselves and others — noticing reactions before acting on them, reading a room, giving feedback that lands, and building trust across the team. The 6 Domains make that concrete: three domains for the internal theater (self-awareness, self-regard, self-management) and three for the external (social awareness, social regard, social management), with thirty learnable skills underneath — including the empathy skills most programs treat as untrainable.

What is an emotional intelligence workshop?

A typical emotional intelligence workshop is a single session that raises awareness and fades by Friday. This program uses the workshop as one component of a system: an EQindex® baseline first, cohort learning across the six domains, then application in the flow of work with one target behavior per domain — and a re-measure to show the delta. The workshop starts the change; the system makes it hold.

How is emotional intelligence measured?

With a structured assessment. The EQindex® scores all six domains and the thirty skills beneath them, so each leader sees where their internal and external theaters are strong and where they leak. Participants baseline before the program and re-measure after — the movement in their own scores is the evidence, not a personality label.

How is this different from a workshop we could build ourselves, or another EI program?

It's a system, not an event. You get the proprietary 6 Domains framework, the EQindex® assessment that scores all six domains and thirty skills, and a curriculum built around changing behavior rather than explaining a concept. A one-off workshop can raise awareness; this gives your people a shared model, a measured baseline, and language that travels across the org.

Can we run it ourselves with our own facilitators?

Yes. There's a certification path for internal facilitators, so once your people are certified you can deliver the program at your own cadence while keeping the framework and EQindex® assessment intact.

How does this scale, and how does it handle admin and integration?

It runs live-virtual, on-demand, or in-person, so you can match the format to each audience. Delivery and the EQindex® assessment run on leaderfactor.app with org-level reporting, so administrators can roll people out, track baselines, and view results across teams.
