Emotions are your compass

Do you know the difference between emotions, feelings and moods?

Learning how to Perceive, Connect, Understand and Manage emotions isn’t just transformative—it can literally be lifesaving. Many of us struggle to navigate our inner world: because most people don’t grasp the difference between Emotions (brief, intense responses to events), Moods (longer-lasting emotional tones), and Feelings (our conscious interpretation of emotions).

Transform How You Think, Lead and Perform.

At Grand Strategy Consulting, we help individuals and organizations increase their competency and enhance their capabilities by expanding their emotional capacity through our emotional intelligence coaching and consulting solution informed by the Mayer Salovey Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). MSCEIT is backed by over 30 years of scientific research.

By increasing emotional capacity, you unlock greater clarity, stronger decision-making, and improved capabilities, allowing you to navigate challenges, drive results, and operate at your full potential.

Sign up for the MSCEIT2 Certification Waiting List.

Our certification programs run over two days (4 hours each day) and are held on the last Tuesday and Thursday of every month. With only 12 spots available per program, we recommend joining the waitlist to be notified as soon as a space opens up.

Equip yourself with the technical skills to assess and develop your organizations and client’s EI.
