Aloha! I’m Persephone

and I believe in emotional intelligence’s ability to change the world.

I’ve seen EI work absolute magic in my classrooms, in summer camps, in my home, amongst my friends, and for my kids.

I saw it making SUCH a difference that I went looking for more education on the subject. I found so much hope for the future that I haven’t looked back.

I’ve studied, taught, and lived emotional intelligence for over 25 years now (even before I had the words to describe what I was doing). Ya know, back when it was dismissed as “street smarts” and even looked down on for that fact.

I taught it in my classes and in my home anyway. Because I saw it’s magic working bit by bit.

I wrote it into my books (picture books and more). Because I wanted to share that magic.

The latest addition to my lifes’ purpose was getting certified to administer an emotional intelligence assessment.

The EQ-i2.0 assessment is a scientifically verified method of assessment and includes 133 statements that you respond to in order to give you a better picture of your current emotional health.

Then you and I meet a few times to debrief what your assessment reveals.

You bring your creative, resourceful, & whole self.

I bring 20 years of Montessori philosophy & application, my coaching certification AND my EQi2.0 credential to help you make sense of your assessment.

Let’s get started!

My Approach

Beginning work on your emotional intelligence is incredibly brave.

It requires you to be introspective. To observe yourself. To evaluate those observations with as little judgement as possible.

I know this is hard because I’m doing it too.

There is no point in our lives where our emotional intelligence journey is “finished”.

There may be times when we slow our pursuit of what’s next. There may be times when we focus on other parts of ourselves.

But once we get started with EQ, it becomes part of who we are. The growth and change is inevitable and so too is the resting in between growing stages.

I believe that EQ has the power to change the world… one person at a time.

I believe you can affect that change.

The assessment

After a quick chat, you’ll get an invitation to take the assessment. Then we meet a few times and discuss what was revealed in your responses.

This is a NO judgement conversation… because there can BE no judgement when there is no right or wrong outcome.

Your results are a picture of you, now.

We’ll look at the picture and see how it aligns with your perception and how you might like to move forward.

After

Once we’ve had a chat about your EQ-i2.0 results, you get to decide what’s next.

Schedule sessions to continue exploring your emotional intelligence? Sure.

Use those sessions to create a plan of action for changing something? If you like.

Take your report and new found insight from our chat and let it percolate in your brain until you know what you want to do with it, if anything…? Of course.

You get to pick. You get to lead.

Because it’s YOUR assessment.
