Tools We Use

Aspire Performance uses the following tools to aid in the development of targeted solutions, catered to each individual or organization. Each tool provides insight into where we focus our efforts on building and enhancing individual and organizational capability.

Description:

Emotions are contagious. They spread from one person to another quickly, either strengthening or harming the organization. Mounting pressure and rapid organizational change make it even more challenging for teams to collaborate.

Without developing the foundational skills of Emotional Intelligence, even your most talented employees will not reach their full potential. It is a scientific fact that emotions precede thought. When emotions run high, they change the way our brain's function…diminishing our cognitive abilities, decision-making powers, and even interpersonal skills.
