Our Services
Anima Leadership services are designed to support individuals, teams, organizations as well as communities. Woven through all of our offerings is the highly original Anima Leadership Development Process (ALDP), a holistic approach to leadership that integrates:
- Emotional and social intelligence skills;
- Diversity, equity and anti-discrimination theory;
- Conflict transformation, mindfulness and deliberative dialogue processes.
The results help nurture powerful leaders who can balance both the head (intellect) and heart (emotions, spirit). Clarity, compassion and courage are core traits of our inside-out approach to leadership, producing greater impact with less effort. Please contact us to discuss any of our services!

Leadership Coaching and EQ Assessments
We provide coaching support to individuals engaging in the authentic leadership journey. We are one of the few companies in Canada certified to offer the “EQ in Action Profile”, an online real-time simulation tool that gives comprehensive feedback about emotional intelligence and core leadership skills. Read More
Emotional intelligence or quotient (EQ) is often described as an ability to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups. Research indicates that EQ is the base upon which all other leadership skills and competencies are built. Effective leadership is greatly enhanced by developing EQ (Goleman et al., 1998, 2000).
The EQ In RelationshipTM survey involves conducting an on-line assessment after which participants receive a 20-page report that outlines their EQ strengths, weaknesses and strategies for growth. EQ In RelationshipTM was developed through rigorous research and testing by Learning In Action Technologies Inc., and has been used internationally by government departments, academic institutions and Fortune 500 Companies.
Use this tool to take your team’s leadership to the next level!
