What a great asset this tool is for us to be successful in service to our clients

“I thought too – it was just an exceptional group to work with. I found the way this was presented and the interactive nature of this really beneficial and the breakout groups, and opportunity to practice with each other, I thought there was a great spirit of enthusiasm and engagement and mutual support in that environment. So I really, really relish that piece of the exercise. And, you know, less lecture style was really effective and meaningful for me. And…

Anthea Gomez, CHRE, SAIGE HR Consulting.

I was thrilled to have this as the first step on my journey to coaching.

“I was thrilled to have this as the first step on my journey to coaching. I would say to the group it’s been a terrific group and very safe. I honestly started this with a bit of trepidation simply because I hadn’t been part of a course for so many years. My personal development has been my own personal development – not part of a group. Everyone made this a very safe environment and David and Mike thank you, and…

Dan Roberts testimonial with the text

This group provided so many insights

“I think that I definitely take away, as I came into this, I thought, you know, I always want to add to my methodology and offerings to clients as I build my practice. And I got some great ideas on how to approach emotions and people going through change because that’s kind of my bailiwick. So I really appreciate, that’s a big takeaway for the group, I always like to hear because you get very centred in your world where…

Engaging and humorous

“If you haven’t had the opportunity to hear The Emotional Intelligence Training Company, Inc. David Cory’s presentation on “The Emotional Intelligence Employee Development Blueprint”, I highly recommend it! David presented this information to our local SHRM chapter’s monthly meeting via webinar last week, and I am still hearing feedback from our chapter members that it was the best lunch and learn they could remember attending! To be honest, I was concerned a webinar might limit our attendance, but not only did…

Smash hit

“David gave a presentation on Emotional Intelligence to the Calgary Association of Professional Coaches and was a smash hit!

Very grateful for what I have gained/learnt

“It is very rare that I walk away from a training program feeling “light”, that some weight has been lifted off my shoulder. The three days we spent together did that and more: It helped lift a weight I did not even know I was carrying. Thank you! I remain very grateful for what I have gained/learnt thus far and look forward to its impact on both my personal and professional life.” Edith Conacher, Student Affairs, University of Saskatchewan, College…

Significance and impact of EQ

“Intelligent, passionate, articulate, and professional are only a few words that capture my experience of attending one of David’s EQ-i workshops. David presents a compelling reason to seriously integrate EQ testing in a leadership environment. His knowledge and ability to assimilate and then communicate the significance and impact of EQ in day-to-day interactions are to be commended. David truly makes sense of complexity and quickly tests the status quo in organizational and executive development. I can unreservedly recommend David, his…

A Wonderful Course

“Really enjoyed the EQi 2.0/EQ 360 certification course in Ottawa in February. David did a wonderful job teaching the course and left us feeling that he had exceeded our expectations completely. Also, the other participants were a joy to meet and interact with in the exercises. We look forward to meeting up again sometime soon. We would solidly recommend the course to anyone looking for EQ training.” David Teed

The EQ-i 2.0 / EQ 360 certification course was a transformative learning experience

“Participating in the EQ-i 2.0 / EQ 360 certification course was a transformative learning experience! I appreciated the experiential activities that had us interpreting assessments and demonstrating the components of effective feedback and debrief best practices. Each day surpassed my expectations of the workshop providing incredible insight into how emotions and their impact influence various aspects of our lives! This was truly a fabulous course!!!” Josie Berardinelli, M.Ed., CTDP, Operations Learning & Communications

Excellent balance of theory, science and practical applications

The many positive comments that participants were making to each other during lunch and coffee breaks is a measure of just how good this training was. David’s ability to present on EI with a deep respectful interpersonal presence and gentle humor made the hours fly by. Even though I came to…

Demonstrated expertise

“Although I have known David for years through several professional associations we both belong to, I only recently attended a certification workshop with David and had the pleasure of actually working with him. David demonstrated his passion and expertise with the Bar-On EQ-i assessment through the entire three days. With his personable approach, facilitative style and stories of his experience, I left with much more knowledge about emotional intelligence and how to use the Bar-On EQ-i to assess its functioning.…

Epiphanous for me, both personally and professionally

“Thank you very much for the amazing job you did leading the EQ-i 2.0/360 training last week in Toronto. I have been to MANY training sessions in my career, and yours was by far the best. Quite honestly, I am still somewhat ‘deer in the headlights’ in terms of the material, but I am a huge fan of anything that forces us to dig a little deeper. It was quite epiphanous for me, both personally and professionally.” Joanne Paterson, Durham…

Impressed with course content and facilitation

“I just finished the EQ-i course and am in the middle of the 360 Feedback. I really enjoyed hearing and seeing David Cory in action both in the three day training certification course and in the three hour phone conference. I am most impressed with how David handles the course content and the facilitation of the various questions that come from the participants. I am looking forward to using the resources and training provided with both my companies and the…

David is the best

“I have been to many workshops throughout my career and have experienced many different facilitators. David is by far the best. David’s style allows participants to listen and absorb information in a very relaxed and non-confrontational way which makes the learning totally comfortable. David was always approachable and open to questions and demonstrated a thorough understanding and interest in the subject matter. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend David Cory as an EQ facilitator to colleagues. Thank you again.” Julie…
