LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
Hi, my name is Deiric McCann, and I’m here to share some detail on how we can work together to raise your emotional intelligence so you can transform the impact you have on your colleagues and those whom you need to impress and engage to drive your success.
There are lots of coaches in the world, many of them excellent at what they do. But how many of them have had experience at the highest levels of leadership in international organisations – how many have ever really ‘walked a mile in your shoes’?
Let me tell you a little about myself – not simply to boast (although there is a bit of that), but more to give you an insight into why I am uniquely qualified to help senior executives like you who wish to raise their impact on the people around them.
I spent 18 years in various senior executive positions in Profiles International, a division of multinational John Wiley & Sons ($2Bn), culminating in a role as Executive Vice President, International – with responsibility for all non-US business worldwide.
I am a qualified professional coach with several hundred hours experience, an accredited teacher of the Search Inside Yourself Mindful Leadership Program developed by Google, and a Genos Emotional Intelligence Master Trainer. I am also a highly rated and accomplished speaker with years of experience presenting to global audiences.
Along the way, I’ve written five books, all emphasising the critical role of engaging people to achieve business success, the most recent being ‘Leadership Charisma’. This book presents a step-by-step approach to developing a charismatic impact on others.
My greatest passion is to work with high-potential senior leaders who wish to equip themselves with the interpersonal skills to go to the top, most of which are drawn from emotional intelligence.
I can help you develop a deep insight into how your most important stakeholders see you ‘show up’ and guide you on how to enhance your EI to have a dramatically greater impact in engaging those you must engage for success in these challenging times.
WHY IS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE SO CRITICAL?
You can understand the absolute need for executives to have deep emotional intelligence by looking at this simple summary of what 25 years of research into the topic says:
“The way you ‘show up’ (the way others experience your behaviour)…
…determines the way people around you feel.”
“The way people feel determines the extent to which they are able to engage with you, and…
…the extent to which they engage with you determines in large part the outcome of that engagement.”
Emotional intelligence is understanding this simple truth…
choosing how you show up in every situation to get the best possible results from your interactions with people.
When you develop emotional intelligence, it doesn’t just change your life in business – it changes every aspect of your life.
Your relationships with superiors, direct reports, clients, family, friends and loved ones change dramatically.
Research shows that emotionally intelligent people are more successful, happier, calmer and better able to deal with stressful lives.
Don’t just trust me on this – look at what some of the foremost authorities in the business world are saying…
WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS
The latest research by Capgemini says:
“…74% of executives believe that Emotional Intelligence will become a ‘must have’ skill in the next one to five years.”
and that…
“…demand for EI is expected to increase by as much as six times.”
Recently published LinkedIn research also identifies EI as:
“…one of the top 5 most in-demand skills.”
Even before the pandemic, all of the research said that Emotional Intelligence was a key skillset for success – especially for leaders; and it will be particularly important as we emerge from the lockdown period into whatever new normal we as leaders must learn to manage.
HERE’S HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
We offer three core emotional intelligence coaching programs – any of which can be adapted to meet your requirements, either at the outset or as we go along:
1
The Emotional Intelligence
‘Pulse Check‘ Program
2
The Emotional Intelligence
‘Sprint‘ Program
Over three sessions, we’ll work together using the Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment to help you create a personal action plan to develop your emotional intelligence in a way that enhances your impact upon your colleagues – and then we’ll collaborate on a practical implementation plan – monitoring results and outcomes as we go along.
3
The Emotional Intelligence
‘Expert Executive‘ Program
Working together over seven sessions, we’ll collaborate on your development and execute an action plan to enhance your impact on colleagues as we do in the ‘Sprint’ program – but then we’ll go even deeper to build your skills for the longer term. By the time we finish this program, you’ll have developed your emotional intelligence to the highest levels, equipping you with the EI competencies to be confident that you’ll excel in any future career roles that require that you inspire and engage.
OPTION 1
‘EI PULSE’ PROGRAM
Includes:
- Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment
- Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Development Tips Workbook
- 1 x EI Report debrief, coaching and planning session with Deiric
Overview
This is an ideal program if all you need is a quick but deep insight into how emotionally intelligent you are seen to be by your colleagues. With attention on those people in your environment whom you must positively impact and inspire to get the results you desire.
We’ll work together to figure out who you most need to impact and engage to be maximally successful. We’ll use the Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment to have those stakeholders provide online feedback on how they see you ‘show up’ day-to-day.
Once we have the results, we’ll walk through the data in detail and I’ll help you to identify areas where you have opportunities to enhance your impact. Then we’ll work together on identifying specific actions you can take day-to-day to raise your impact.
Cost €995
OPTION 2
‘EI SPRINT’ PROGRAM
Includes:
- Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment
- Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Development Tips Workbook
- 1 x Pre-Program Report debrief, coaching and planning session with Deiric
- 2 x follow-up coaching sessions to set and monitor planned actions
Overview
This is a great option if your success really depends on your ability to inspire and motivate people to produce superior results (whether those people are your peers, your direct reports or even your clients).
As with the ‘Pulse Check’ option, we use the Genos Leadership Assessment to get some input from your key stakeholders on your current level of impact upon them.
We will then dive more in-depth and together we’ll identify three key areas you can focus upon to get your key stakeholders more engaged with you. In brief 2-2.5 hour coaching sessions (usually monthly), we’ll create some clear, simple actions for raising your game in the three areas of emotional intelligence your stakeholders identify as most important to them.
Here’s a timeline:
Session 1: Pre-Program Setup
In an initial meeting, we’ll identify your goals and objectives and identify the key stakeholders you want to impact – so that we can then set up the assessment.
Session 2: Report Debrief & Action Plan
When we have the report in hand, we’ll work through the results in a structured coaching and debrief session. We’ll outline where you can get the most immediate and valuable results, and to agree an action plan to guide us from through the rest of our program.
Session 3: Progress Check-in & Course Correct
When we’re a month into the program we’ll again meet, both to review progress to date, and to set out activities for the following period (generally a month).
Session 4: ReVIew & Action Plan
Two months into the program, we’ll review progress and objectives to date, course direction and set an action plan that you can pursue from that point forward.
Cost €1995
OPTION 3
‘EI EXPERT EXECUTIVE’ PROGRAM
Includes:
- Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment
- Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Development Tips Workbook
- 1 x Pre-Program Report debrief, coaching and planning session with Deiric
- 5 x follow-up coaching sessions to set and monitor planned actions
- Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment at end of program
- 1 x Post-program debrief with Deiric – progress review & comparison before/after
Overview
Over several months, we’ll work together to equip you with the emotional intelligence competencies to be confident that you’ll excel in any future career roles that require that you inspire and engage.
Working together through this extended program, we will dramatically change the way you show up – putting you head and shoulders above your peers in terms of both your knowledge of emotional intelligence, and your ability to harness it to get the best results in your position and in your career.
As with the two other options, we’ll begin by using the Genos Leadership Assessment to get a clear picture of how your key stakeholders see you show up today – and we’ll run that assessment again at the end of the program to measure progress and success.
Each month, we’ll focus upon a different emotional intelligence competency, so that by the end you’ll have enhanced your Self Awareness, Awareness of Others, Authenticity, Emotional Reasoning, Self-Management and Positive Influence. You’ll become highly skilled in applying emotional intelligence to get the best results from the people you interact with.
Session 1: Pre-Program Setup
In an initial meeting, we’ll identify your goals and objectives and identify the key stakeholders you want to impact – so that we can then set up the assessment.
Session 2: Report Debrief & Action Plan
When your stakeholders have provided feedback, and we have the report in hand – we’ll work through the results in a structured coaching and debrief session where you can get the most immediate and valuable impact, and to agree an action plan to guide us from through the rest of our program together.
Sessions 3-6: Progress Check-in & Reorientation
Every month we’ll your review progress to date against the monthly actions we agree, and set out actions for the following period.
Each month, we’ll also identify a specific EI competency for intensive focus – identifying particular actions for raising your Self Awareness, Awareness of Others, Authenticity, Emotional Reasoning, Self Management, and Ability to Inspire Performance.
Session 7: Review
Before the final session, we’ll again run the Genos Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment. Then we’ll work through a comparison of those results with the results of your assessment at the beginning of the program – so we can celebrate those areas where you’ve dramatically enhanced your impact and create an action plan for taking you forward from that point.

THE GENOS EI LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENT
You wouldn’t be enjoying the success you’re already enjoying if you didn’t have some well-honed emotional intelligence skills. This assessment will help you identify those behaviours you demonstrate that people around you particularly value – giving us something to capitalise upon as we work together. It will also help you identify the areas you can improve on that are most important to those people you must effectively engage to be success in what you do.
