The future of leadership development: transformational leadership through emotional intelligence.
The EQiLead program is designed for both existing teams and groups of individual leaders. Built around Vicki Macdermid’s proprietary REINS framework, the program integrates seamlessly into existing leadership development initiatives, bringing theory to life in ways leaders can see, feel and maintain in the workplace and life.
Why EQiLead?
Most leadership programs stay in the classroom (or boardroom). EQiLead takes leaders into an environment where behaviours are mirrored back in real time, offering feedback that is immediate, dynamic and unforgettable.
Experiential - Leaders practice, not just discuss.
Transformational - Insights are lived, not abstract.
Measurable - Results translate directly into workplace impact.
What Participants Experience
In a safe and supportive environment, participants are guided through powerful experiential exercises that reveal how emotional intelligence shapes leadership presence and team dynamics.
Through this journey, each participant will:
Explore their leadership style in action.
Experience the power of collaboration to build stronger teams.
Receive open, honest, real-time feedback that is remembered.
Translate new self-awareness into practical leadership behaviours.
The REINS Framework
At the core of EQiLead is the REINS framework - a practical, repeatable model that helps leaders integrate emotional intelligence into everyday leadership.
Reflect - Recognise your patterns and presence.
Engage - Connect with clarity and authenticity.
Influence - Build trust and inspire action.
Navigate - Lead through challenge and change.
Sustain - Embed behaviours for lasting transformation.
Program Formats
EQiLead is designed to be flexible and adaptable to organisational needs. Delivery formats include:
Workshops - Impactful full-day experience that introduce the REINS framework and achieve enhanced collaboration, trust and performance across the group.
Intensives - Multi-session programs that allow leaders to go deeper, practise and embed behavioural change over time and develop a deeper sense of their own leadership presence.
Coaching - One-to-one or small group coaching sessions that build on workshop insights and support leaders in applying them in real-world contexts.
EQiLead creates leaders people choose to follow - because they connect with authenticity, lead with presence and sustain transformation.
