EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE · ASSESSMENT · DEVELOPMENT

Understand Your Emotional Intelligence.
Then Learn What to Do With It.

Emotional intelligence is not simply about getting a score. Project SPICES™ combines established emotional-intelligence assessment instruments, guided interpretation, and applied development to help you explore how emotional patterns influence relationships, decisions, leadership, and everyday functioning.

EMOTIONS ARE INFORMATION

Emotional Intelligence Shows Up Where Life Gets Real.

It affects how we respond to pressure, interpret other people, handle disagreement, make decisions, communicate, adapt to change and manage relationships.

That makes emotional intelligence relevant to individuals, professionals, students, teams, leaders and organizations— but the application should look different depending on the person and context.

Self-Awareness

Notice emotional patterns, triggers, perceptions and responses.

Relationships

Understand how emotional functioning affects connection and conflict.

Decisions

Examine how emotion interacts with judgment and problem solving.

Stress

Explore flexibility, coping and functioning under pressure.

EQ-i 2.0® + EQ 360®

ASSESSMENT → DEVELOPMENT

We Do Not Hand You a Report and Send You Home.

The instrument provides data. The developmental work begins with better questions.

What is this pattern affecting?
Where does it help me?
Where may it be limiting me?
What does it look like under pressure?
What might I practice differently?

Project SPICES™ places emotional-intelligence assessment within a broader human-development context rather than treating one score as a complete explanation of a person. Interpretation, reflection, and practical application help turn assessment information into meaningful developmental work.

WHERE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE CAN BE APPLIED

The Same Assessment Can Lead to Different Conversations.

Emotional intelligence is relevant across personal, relational, leadership, team, and organizational contexts. The most meaningful application begins by identifying the questions you want to explore and the outcomes you hope to support.

Personal development and emotional intelligence

Personal Development

Explore emotional patterns, self-awareness, interpersonal relationships, decision-making, stress responses, and personal effectiveness.

Team collaboration and emotional intelligence development
02 / TEAM

Team Development

Create shared language around emotional awareness, communication, collaboration, conflict, interpersonal expectations, and team effectiveness.

Leadership development and emotional intelligence
03 / LEADERSHIP

Leadership Development

Connect emotional intelligence insights to influence, decision-making, stress management, relationships, leadership behavior, and professional growth.

Organizational development and emotional intelligence applications
04 / ORGANIZATION

Organizational Development

Apply emotional intelligence insights within broader leadership development, organizational culture, change initiatives, communication, and team effectiveness.

YOUR PRACTITIONER + EDUCATOR

Assessment Literacy Matters.

A sophisticated assessment is only as useful as the conversation built around it.

Dr. Sarai Koo brings extensive work across human development, leadership, executive coaching, assessment, education, relationships, and organizational systems to the interpretation process.

That broader perspective allows emotional-intelligence findings to be discussed within the context of lived experience, relationships, professional responsibilities, and organizational conditions— rather than as isolated scores.

BEYOND ONE ASSESSMENT

Sometimes EQ Is the Right Lens. Sometimes It Is One Part of the Picture.

Project SPICES™ also works with leadership, change, influence, team and interpersonal assessments when another lens would better serve the developmental question.

The goal is not to administer more assessments. The goal is to select useful tools for the context and translate information into meaningful development.

“The goal is not to put you in a box. It is to give you another window through which to see yourself.”

QUESTIONS + NEXT STEPS

Start With the Development Question— Not the Product.

Tell us what you are trying to understand or improve. We can help determine whether EQ-i 2.0®, EQ 360®, another assessment, or a broader developmental pathway makes sense for your situation.

What is EQ-i 2.0®?

EQ-i 2.0® is an emotional-intelligence assessment that measures emotional and social competencies across a structured model of scales and subscales.

What is EQ 360®?

EQ 360® adds feedback from selected raters so an individual's self-perception can be considered alongside how others experience them.

Is this only for executives?

No. Emotional-intelligence development can be relevant for individuals, professionals, students, teams, leaders, and organizations. The application should be tailored to the context.

Do I receive coaching or debriefing?

Project SPICES™ emphasizes interpretation and developmental conversation rather than treating the assessment report as the end of the process. Specific packages, debriefing arrangements, and coaching options can be discussed before enrollment.
