EQ Extra
Developing your emotional intelligence
About EQ Extra
Enhance your understanding of emotional intelligence with this series of short, animated development videos.
Each 5-minute video explores a different area of emotional intelligence, including what it means and why it’s important, and provides 3 practical development strategies for you and your colleagues.
​
EQ Extra is an ideal resource for anyone looking to develop emotional intelligence in their organisations or as an individual.
Remember to turn on the sound to hear the voiceover narration!
The videos are a very useful way of supporting our people to develop their emotional intelligence. We really like the bite-size approach, enabling participants to go directly to the topic(s) that they are choosing to focus on, gaining further insight into what each area means, why it’s important, and some practical development strategies.

FAQs
What does 'compatible with the EQ-i 2.0 emotional intelligence model' mean?
The EQ-i 2.0 model of emotional intelligence focuses on 15 different emotional and social skills that combine to form an individual's overall emotional intelligence. The EQ Extra videos explore each of these areas to help you develop your emotional intelligence. You can learn more about the EQ-i 2.0 model here.

​
I want to add EQ Extra to my organisation's platform. How does this work?
To host EQ Extra on your organisation's internal platform, you will need to purchase the Business or Premium plan. We will then provide access to the videos, development plans and reference list via SharePoint, allowing you to download the files and distribute them internally.
​
How do I access the videos if I purchase the Individual Plan?
We will set you up with an account on our Talent LMS system. You will be able to view the videos on this platform for 6 months and download the development plans and reference lists within the files section.
​
What is the difference between the Business and Premium Plans?
The Business plan allows you to use the EQ Extra video series for 1 year. After 12 months, you will need to purchase a new licence. If you think that you will be using EQ Extra for more than a year, we recommend purchasing the Premium plan as this one-off payment provides you with an unlimited licence.
​
The videos refer to research – where can I find these studies?
A reference list for each video is available. For individual users these can be found in the resources section of your account. For organisations, we provide these alongside the video files.​
