For many years, people have associated success with Intelligence Quotient (IQ). However, backed by years and years of research suggest that Emotional Intelligence outperforms IQ in the success metre. So how can this intangible yet critical factor lay the groundwork for successful business leaderships and relationships?
In this episode of Influence by Design, we discuss harnessing emotional intelligence to empower business relationships with Sherrie Laryse. Sherrie’s focus on teaching emotional intelligence is reinforced by years worth of experience in working with human behaviour, neurolinguistics, grief, trauma, and more.
In a nutshell, Emotional Intelligence is about understanding our own emotions. For Sherrie, being able to decipher personal sentiments is key to understanding anybody else’s. In the business space, Emotional Intelligence serves as a valuable asset that fosters a healthy relationship between peers and clients.
When utilised properly, Emotional Intelligence empowers relationships - it ensures individuals are equipped on how to look at other’s points of view, handle “difficult” clients and lead better collaborative initiatives.

Do you feel like you’re putting in the hard yards in your business, yet the results are not evident in your bank account? If so, you might want to consider a shift in perspective and make use of offers that steer you toward increasing your revenue. 
In this episode of Influence by Design, we talk about the high-ticket blueprint: breakthrough five and six figure months with ease with Desiree Stafford. Desiree has been helping coaches, healers, consultants, and other serviced entrepreneurs attract a steady flow of high-ticket clients. 
Although increasing your revenue doesn’t always call for raising prices, it's about understanding your  zone of genius, owning the value you have to offer, and leaning into feeling worthy of what you’re charging.
When clients become aware of the business model that allows them to live the lifestyle they want, they begin acknowledging the transformations they bring and feel more confident to set prices that feel most aligned with them.
If you’re ready to lean into what you truly desire with your programs and pricing, this episode is for you.
