What’s the cost of truly transformative leadership? Emotional Intelligence (EQ) isn’t just a trending concept—it’s the foundation for building resilient, self-aware teams that thrive under pressure.
At The Metiss Group, we bring nearly 30 years of expertise in leadership development to the table, helping organizations unlock their full potential through targeted EQ programs. With decades of proven success, we know how to turn emotional intelligence into a tangible leadership advantage.
In this article, we’ll outline the investment in our EQ 360 programs, explain why they deliver unmatched value, and guide you to the right solution for your team’s growth.
Average Cost of The Emotional Intelligence Journey™ at The Metiss Group for Small Businesses
Typically, The Emotional Intelligence Journey™ at The Metiss Group costs between $3300 and $7000. This investment includes four main components: Self-Discovery, Structured Learning, Practical Application and One-on-One Coaching
Here is more info on what is included in each:
1. Self-Discovery
Every program in The Emotional Intelligence Journey™ begins with the EQ 360 assessment, a 45-minute exercise where participants select observers to provide candid feedback. This feedback is then compiled into a comprehensive report, which highlights key areas for growth and strengths to leverage. Participants review their results in a 90-minute debrief session with an expert coach, gaining clarity on their emotional landscape and its impact on their leadership style. This initial phase is crucial, as it forms the foundation for the transformational work that follows.
2. Structured Learning
Both the three-month and six-month programs include personalized 90-minute coaching sessions tailored to the participant’s unique needs. During these sessions, participants explore emotional intelligence principles in depth, including the EQ-i model, composite scales, subscales, and how these areas interact.
The three-month program focuses on building a solid foundation for EQ development, emphasizing immediate growth and actionable insights.
The six-month program offers a more comprehensive experience, allowing participants to dive deeper into each EQ area. With additional coaching and accountability, leaders can refine their skills and make continuous progress.
The added depth of the six-month program justifies its higher investment of $7,000, compared to the $3,300 cost of the focused three-month option.
3. Practical Application
At The Metiss Group, we know that growth comes from action. That’s why we emphasize real-world application in both programs. Participants are encouraged to integrate what they learn into their daily interactions through targeted exercises and assignments. These practical applications ensure EQ strategies become second nature, translating theoretical insights into tangible results.
4. One-on-One Coaching
Personalized coaching is the heart of The Emotional Intelligence Journey™. Monthly coaching sessions in the three-month program provide steady guidance, keeping participants focused on their development goals.
For those in the six-month program, the coaching extends further, allowing time for deeper habit formation and sustained growth. This extended support ensures participants can tackle challenges, celebrate wins, and see meaningful progress—reflecting the program’s comprehensive value at $7,000.
The cost for small businesses in The Emotional Intelligence Journey™ at The Metiss Group ranges from $3,300 to $7,000. Both durations offer structured growth opportunities tailored to different needs, ensuring measurable, lasting results.
These components are all required for proper development for you, your workforce and your colleagues. You can’t have one without the others, and the four components working in tandem are what make the program so effective.
Furthermore, included in this program are several assessments, notably the EQ360 assessment. This assessment helps us determine the baseline for your workforce to develop a comprehensive EQ Development plan.
You may be wondering why The Metiss Group pricing looks the way it does, and you may also be wondering how you land at one end of this range or the other, so let’s dive into that further.
What drives the cost up?
You may be asking yourself how do we end up at $7,000. The answer is quite simple. The six-month program includes additional one-on-one coaching services. Here is some additional detail on the six-month program:
The Six-Month Option For The Emotional Intelligence Journey™
The six-month option for The Emotional Intelligence Journey™ at the Metiss Group provides more depth through a comprehensive journey.
The Value:
Building on the self-discovery phase, this program provides additional coaching sessions to track progress, refine strategies, and adjust the action plan as needed. By the end of the program, participants have fully integrated EQ habits into their leadership style, seeing noticeable improvements in how they connect with others and navigate challenges.
The Challenges:
While the depth of feedback can feel intense initially, the six-month timeline allows for gradual assimilation and habit formation. Leaders must dedicate quality time and maintain a committed mindset to fully benefit from this immersive experience.
What drives the cost down?
The Three-Month Option For The Emotional Intelligence Journey™
For leaders looking for a focused, high-impact experience, the three-month program is a great starting point.
The Value
This program emphasizes self-discovery and provides a strong foundation for EQ growth. Participants identify key areas for improvement and create an actionable plan to enhance self-awareness, emotional expression, interpersonal skills, decision-making, and stress management. It’s a concise way to build essential EQ competencies.
The Challenges
The three-month program delivers a wealth of feedback in a short timeframe, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. Participants often focus on their lowest scores, overlooking their strengths. Our coaches help navigate this challenge by highlighting growth opportunities and hidden potential, ensuring a balanced approach.
Are there hidden fees?
There are no hidden fees in either the three or six-month options for The Emotional Intelligence Journey™. You will not need to hire additional outside consultants to complete the program. We are with you the entire time. There have been instances where organizations have experienced the value-ad of EQ development and opted to continue their EQ coaching services beyond the six-month term. This additional cost is optional and we are happy to discuss what a longer-term coaching commitment could look like for your organization.
