Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Certification Program
In the ground-breaking book, Emotional Intelligence, Dan Goleman theorized that 90% of the difference between star performers and average performers in the workplace was related to EQ. Time and research continue to demonstrate the key role emotions play in conflict resolution, collaboration, innovation, leadership, and other key successful cultural attributes in companies. EQ might be the most important skill any professional can develop in our current workplace.
Bring EQ to your workplace by enrolling your trainer(s) in Data Dome’s certification program. Our clients consistently say they walked away from our certification with more than they ever expected. They receive in-depth knowledge, world-class assessments, and detailed facilitation resources to confidently deliver impactful sessions on their own.
“Virtual certification? I had my doubts and concerns. Lisa and the DataDome team pulled off the same magic you experience in-person: amazing prep, materials, delivery, engagement and ongoing support. DataDome continues to raise the bar!”

Certification Overview
Emotional Quotient Certification Program
This program is designed to equip trainers with an in-depth understanding of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). We train in so much more than just the EQ Basics. We educate you in the details of both the internal and external interactions of the five major components of EQ.
We provide you with all the resources that you need to facilitate sessions: Power Point presentations, facilitator notes, participant materials and exercise worksheets along with the rights to customize and reproduce the materials to suit your needs (the facilitator kit alone is a $900+ value). Strategies and models to successfully implement EQ in your organization or training practice will be discussed. You will have access to the EQ and other world-class online assessments through Data Dome.
Classes are kept small to encourage and allow for personal interaction, sharing of relevant examples, and discussing customized applications. You receive time with the instructor in preparation for and after your exam to review and gain additional knowledge and discuss implementation strategies.
The training is insightful, engaging, and fun. Participants consistently say they walk away with more than they ever expected from the program.

Process
Personal Call with the Instructor
The most important thing to Data Dome is that you leave the session having received more than you ever anticipated. We set up a one-on-one call with the instructor to understand how you will be implementing Emotional Intelligence and your greatest needs so we can ensure they are covered in this one-day course. We review the process, discuss the pre-work, and make sure all your questions have been answered.
Session Pre-Work
Participants are asked to complete pre-work for the session. The objective is for each person to come to the session having a basic background and understanding of Emotional Intelligence. This will allow the class to start with the same knowledge base and keep discussions moving at a consistent pace.
Includes completing an Emotional Quotient Assessment and a 10-module online study course with videos and quizzes.
Agenda
The course starts with introductions, allowing participants to best understand their classmates and form connections that often go beyond the class. Advanced facilitation resource materials will be reviewed as well as the materials and agenda for the program. A “mini” Emotional Intelligence workshop will be demonstrated utilizing the materials the participants will receive. This allows participants to see the program delivered and gives the class an extended base of knowledge. Throughout this one-day certification program, the study guide and the reference manual will be used to educate the class in advanced Emotional Intelligence knowledge.
Emotional Intelligence Defined
The ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions and recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others. It’s not about being emotion-free, it’s about how to process disruptive emotions and get back to “normal.”
The program looks into each of the 5 factors of Emotional Intelligence:
Self-Awareness
Self-Regulation
Social Awareness
Social Regulation
Motivation
Discussions will be focused on application for personal, leadership and team development, performance improvement, hiring and coaching. Participants will be taken through a full review of the numerous exercises that could be utilized in an EQ training with a focus on understanding the purpose and best application(s) of the exercise. They will also review the assessment report reports in detail, their application, and the online assessment system set-up. In order to prepare for their final certification exam, participants will go over a complete review with a facilitator and answer practice questions.

- The 5 Dimensions of Emotional Intelligence
