Check out my BLOG called Living an EQ LifeŠ. You'll find it under the EQ Life tab at the top. Since starting my Emotional Intelligence practice practice in 1996, I have learned so much from so many. Now is the time to start writing about what I have learned. My intention for this BLOG is to focus on EQ application - specifically as it relates to Living an EQ LifeŠ. If you are interested in sharing a Living an EQ LifeŠ story, please contact me. I would be interested in talking to you about publishing it in future BLOGS. Read my first couple of posts and subscribe to Living an EQ LifeŠ. |

Greetings!
Everyone I talk to is a little surprised that not only is 2009 drawing to a close - but so is the decade! How did that happen?
I don't know about you, but 2009, in particular, offered many challenges and opportunities for growth and development (you know what I mean). Admittedly, there were days this year when I was was up to my eyeballs with opportunities and relished the brief moments when I had nothing to do.
It is too soon for me to know the real lessons of this past year. What I do know is that I have have purposefully carved out time for reflection and learning.
For me, Living an EQ LifeŠ becomes real when I actively pay attention to what helps and what hinders my personal growth and development. I honestly believe that 2009 was a wake up call meant to get back to the basics and to create purposeful meaning.
I'm sharing the BEST of the Good Things for 2009 to jump start your creativity for 2010...or give you some last minute gift ideas for your clients, your team members or yourself.
Wishing you the best for Living an EQ LifeŠ!
Warmly,

Good Resources!
Anybody that has ever worked 'independently' learns petty quickly that it is impossible to personally do everything that needs to be done to run a successful business. We must tap into additional resources from time to time so that we can do what we do best. Over the years, I have been fortunate to work with some incredibly talented people. I like to support them by passing their contact information along to people in my network. These people have my full endorsement - they are talented, knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Good Feedback
"Excellence from start to finish"...that's how I would describe Lisa
Griebel and her EQi Training and Certification. As a recent
participant, this as one of the best training and development
experiences I have ever attended (and I've attended hundreds throughout
my career). When you combine her experience as a trainer and
facilitator, her expertise in the arena of Emotional Intelligence and
her commitment to creating a strong learning environment, you get
world-class results! Lisa exceeded my expectations in delivering the
knowledge, skills and tools needed to be successful with EQi."
~ Independent Consultant
"Lisa Griebel, EQ-I practitioner
and trainer, delivers with excellence. Lisa's EQ posture is one
of professionalism and authenticity, Lisa ignites others with her wealth of
knowledge surrounding Emotional Intelligence and models a participative
leadership approach in the EQ-I workshop format.
Lisa
creatively illustrates the facets of behavior associated with EQ and instills
an invaluable level of understanding and confidence. Lisa will
positively enhance and elevate an individual's repertoire of emotional
intelligence."
~ Leadership Coach & Consultant
"I was originally certified to use the EQ-i 5 years ago and
frequently use it in my consulting practice. Every time I administer the EQ-i,
I am reminded how robust the instrument is and how much more there is to learn.
Periodically, I seek Lisa's guidance on more challenging EQ-i interpretations.
Last year, I decided to attend one of her EQ-i training sessions as a refresh
and I am glad that I did. Even though I am EQ-i certified and use it
regularly, I learned more than I thought I would.
Lisa is a skilled trainer who has developed and
delivers a first-rate learning experience. Her knowledge and skill using
the EQ-i coupled with her attention to details is a clear benefit for all
participants. This is evident in the quality and practicality of the materials
she has developed and generously shares. She has a relaxed training style that
encourages participation and learning.
I went into the Refresh training hoping to learn more
about the competencies and left with that along with invaluable tools I have
been using ever since.
I am happy to recommend Lisa's EQ-i training program for
first-time certification or a refresh. It was a good investment at a good time."
~ Partner, Leadership Development Consulting
"Lisa Griebel is not only superbly experienced as an
EQ-I practitioner, she is also a master facilitator and teacher. She
approaches the entire learning experience totally committed to her
students and their learning. She approaches the subject of emotional
intelligence with keen insight developed over years of experience
working with the EQ-I in a broad variety of settings. She makes
learning fun, enjoyable, and relevant. If you want to learn how to use
this tool to help you in your area of practice, this is THE qualifying
workshop for you."
