This approach represents a paradigm shift in how we think about and develop Emotional Intelligence (EI). It has long been established that EI is not only a key differentiator among leaders but is comprised of both a foundational and relational set of skills that form the basis of our intrapersonal and interpersonal effectiveness.

Many courses aim to deepen our intellectual understanding of a topic but stop significantly short of providing repeatable, actionable practices we can integrate into our day-to-day lives

Since all habit change requires responding differently to the internal and external cues that typically guide our actions and behaviors, you have to really want different results than you’re getting today to have the consistent motivation to acquire new ones.

To achieve our highest and best use, we must start with the end in mind.

For that reason, we have combined the following key elements geared towards promoting lasting habit change:

Succinct, online and in-person learning content for people with busy lives and a finite amount of time.

Evidence-based micro-techniques studied by experts in neuroscience and mindfulness. Training for the brain that when practiced increase self and other awareness, connection, and resilience.

Opportunities for introspection and practice, both of which we know are vital to adopting any new habit or behavior.

A learning platform designed for you to share with other people going through the course at the same time and your EI Coach, for those who opt to do so as a strategy to jumpstart their progress.

S. Michele Nevarez

Founder and CEO

As Founder and CEO of Beyond EI’s Coaching and Training programs, Michele’s vision is to democratize Emotional Intelligence as a means of igniting personal and global agency. This driving force is at the core of how the programs she has designed translate EI from theory to a powerful and practical vehicle for meaningful transformation and lasting habit change. It isn’t enough to leave our insights of Emotional Intelligence at the level of theory. We must operationalize EI in a manner that we come to know first-hand what it means to embody the wisdom of EI in our own lives. Michele brings 25+ years of executive leadership experience working for industry leaders in healthcare, investment management, management consulting, and manufacturing. A founding member of Rangjung Yeshe Institute based in Kathmandu, Nepal, Michele has been studying Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practicing the wisdom at the core of its contemplative meditation practices for 29 years. Michele received her B.A. in Religion from Bryn Mawr College and Master of Science degree in Positive Organizational Development and Change from the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University.
