Knowing Your Giftedness Naturally Raises Your EQ & Profit

Emotional intelligence (the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your emotions and those of others) is a skill that brings people together then moves them in right direction. How do you build your EQ (Emotional Quotient)? Giftedness Consulting provides help and here are four ways how.

1: Knowing your giftedness leads to Self-Awareness

The first pillar of EQ is self-awareness: the ability to recognize your emotions.

Giftedness is your unique combination of innate motivating factors (IMFs). It's the kind of tasks you’re drawn to do, the ways you most naturally take action, and the outcomes that matter most to you. When people go through a discovery process like the one we offer, they begin to see why they respond emotionally in certain ways at work.

2: Knowing your giftedness gently reveals your triggers

Triggers are situations that spark strong emotional reactions, often before we can process them logically. For one person, it might be receiving vague feedback. For another, it could be being micromanaged or being left out of a brainstorming session.

Someone with a high EQ quickly names their emotions, recognizes the triggers, and understands how to work with them. That’s exactly where Giftedness Discovery saves the day.

When you understand your giftedness, you begin to connect your strongest emotional reactions with your personal motivators. For example, vague feedback might trigger someone whose giftedness is rooted in precision and structure. Being left out of a brainstorm session might hit at the core of someone driven by creative contribution.

In other words, giftedness gives context to emotional reactions. And when people have context, they better manage their emotions. They do this not by stuffing them down, but by honoring what matters most to them and making wiser decisions around that.

This translates to saved time, energy, and money for you and your company.

3: Knowing your giftedness shows your habits (good and bad)

Giftedness Discovery helps people recognize their best patterns of behavior—not just what they’re good at, but what they’re good at because they're surrounded by their innate motivating factors. Being a high EQ leader allows you to ground yourself to your WHY faster and faster each day. This clarity makes it easier to align work roles, tasks, and even team dynamics to what energizes them and you.

When people are energized and working in their sweet spot, EQ naturally rises: there's less reactive, more focused, better communicators, and more resilient under pressure.

4: Knowing your giftedness helps us fail less

90% of high achievers have a high EQ.

Those with a high EQ statistically make more money.

People do not trust those with a low EQ.

When people are doing the work they’re uniquely wired to do, they’re more likely to perform at a high level, experience longer motivation, and collaborate without burnout. This is the person you want in their sweet spot.

That’s why our Giftedness Discovery services for teams are more than just a morale booster. They’re a foundation for building teams by building individuals, marked by emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and real, sustainable success.
