Emotional intelligence (EQ) plays an integral role in the workplace. Sure it’s important for employees to have a solid academic background and relevant work experience, but a large part of being successful comes from an individual’s level of emotional intelligence. An employee’s level of EQ can impact motivational drive, relationships with co-workers, and overall performance.

We developed Maintaining Self-Control as a follow up to our nationally-acclaimed Anger Management Program. An individual’s self-control also plays a roll in managing behaviors, developing personal responsibility and discipline. Maintaining Self-Control was designed for the purpose of helping individuals develop these skills for optimal goal setting and achieving.

Even the most talented employee cannot reach her full potential if crippled by substance abuse. The Substance Abuse Prevention Program is an extension of our Emotional Intelligence Program that focusses on substance abuse prevention. It helps assess and build resilient and heathy personalities, making individuals strong enough to resist lethal, destructive, and abusive tendencies.

The Conflict Resolution Through Winning Colors program is a unique behavioral observation tool that gives you a means to teach individuals how to identify behaviors necessary for conflict resolution. Conflict Resolution gives users a better understanding of the four parts of self, in order to develop a better understanding of individual differences.
