Boldly Human Leadership

How do you lead
when it counts?

An emotional intelligence (EQ) self-assessment for leaders who sense
there is more available to them than they can currently access.

Just one reason Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is decisive:

As Harvard Medical School psychologist Ron Siegel points out, technical expertise is comparatively easy to find — what's genuinely scarce is people who can understand each other and work well together, and that scarcity is what makes the skill decisive.

— Ron Siegel, quoted in Liz Mineo, “Why employers want workers with high EQs,” Harvard Gazette, August 29, 2025

This isn't a personality test, and there's no score to chase — no right answers, nothing to pass or fail. What you'll find here is a mirror: a reflection of how you currently experience your own leadership, and develop curiosity about how the emotional intelligence skillset can help you be the leader you wish to be.

Something to consider as you take the assessment: how aware you feel of your own emotional patterns and how aware you actually are aren't always the same thing, and the gap between them isn't a flaw. It's information. Where your self-perception feels certain, and where it feels fuzzy, both point toward where your attention can be focussed.

This assessment is organized around five aspects that shape how genuinely human leadership functions: a settled body, a readable room, a field of genuine safety, language that lands, and a presence that's fully inhabited.

Executive Summary

Boldly Human Leadership

Noticing is where it starts.

The evidence from your own observations and feelings about EQ — including the markers we noted above — is important information. Now that it's on your radar, you'll likely start catching those same markers showing up in daily moments: your emotional intelligence at play, serving you as a leader, or signaling where it could benefit from an “upgrade.” And that's the great thing about emotional intelligence: it's a skillset we can deepen.

For those ready to take steps to expand their EQ toolkit with actionable learning and experience, Crack the Emotional Algorithm is a great first step. This 60-minute Boldly Human Leadership webinar is where those markers get amplified: body-based, interactive, and practiced alongside other leaders doing the same work. This is where your awareness turns into reliable leadership, day to day.

“Emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership.”

— Daniel Goleman, Harvard Business Review
