I would recommend Gale Mote to any company that wants to move ahead… Gale’s ability to teach to the learner is outstanding… Wonderful training… I appreciate how comfortable our team felt actively participating and being totally open in the sessions… All organizations who rely on people need this.
The program makes me think about how a “team” affects our department and how to pull out each one of our strengths. We need to do more of this, it was awesome! This was a great, participatory and informative program, and provided a lot of useful tools.

EQ is important because it can account for 25–30% of an individual’s success in any type of job.Gale is certified in EQ-i 2.0® – Multi-Health Systems (MHS) and Mastering Emotional Intelligence Levels 1 and 2 – Talentsmart, Inc.
