Combining the head and the heart., December 16, 2003
Donald MacNaughton from Zoned in Performance (Inverness, Scotland, UK)
As a coach and consultant working in business I found the book "7 steps to Emotional Intelligence" an invaluable aid. The books exercises and clear desriptions allows people to develop their Emotional Intelligence through the power of NLP.
To date this book , for me, is the simplest and most effective toolkit available for developing emotional intelligence.
It works!, September 22, 2003
Richard Juneau from www.coach-performance.net (Brossard, Quebec Canada)
As a consultant, coach, and trainer working across Canada, the U.S., and France I find myself constantly using the concepts and techniques proposed in this book. I know this approach to EQ works - from needs analysis, to proposal writing, closing, and delivery.
I found "7 steps to Emotional Intelligence" to be the clearest and most practical one on EQ. Some books are determined to tell you WHY and WHAT, but many authors aim to self-promote themselves so that you have to buy the HOW through their services. Not so with this book. This is no rehash or repackaging of NLP and EQ. The exercises proposed and the examples given are practical. Lots of meat with no fat. Just go ahead and use it. You prefer more? Try their web site addresses and see how you can enhance your professional practice. I did. I found the most friendly and fastest service than I have ever seen. You want to confirm your answers to those exercises? Write them, they will send them to you. Fast, efficient, friendly. Reflects the tone of the book.
Get this book, study it, and apply it. It works!
Practical skills at last..., May 29, 2002
Marilyn Melville from EQ @ Work (Newcastle, Australia)
I applaud the work of Patrick Merlevede, Bridoux and Vandamme. 7 Steps to Emotional Intelligence has offered me an unparalleled resource in my consulting, training and tools for EQ and Exec. Coaching.
The authors have achieved what I have not found in any other single text on EQ or NLP. They present NLP through the filters of real life experience and personal wisdom to bring the power of these processes to a much wider audience. The authors have provided an easy to follow, concrete and complete program on: Why EQ, What (is) EQ, How EQ and What if EQ (in what other environments can I utilise these skills). At last- the total package-that works!
The book is filled with the powerful tools of NLP laced with practical examples and metaphors that inspire. It acts as reference text for consultants, trainers, coaches, NLP practitioners, leaders, executives and individuals who simply want to be their best and begin to utilise more of their vast and untapped potential.
Emotional Intelligence---something we can all use, August 23, 2001
Judith E. Pearson, PhD., author of Healthy Habits from Burke, Virginia, USA
This book promotes an understanding of how emotions work and how we can manage them effectively for optimum living. 7 Steps to Emotional Intelligence is a structured guide; a workbook packed with individual exercises and self-assessments---an intensive course in EQ excellence that addresses emotional conflict, motivation, beliefs, goal-setting, communication, wisdom, creativity and personal success.
I found this book engaging, clear, and easy to understand. Is it wrong to think that we could choose our emotions, instead of being at their mercy? Does getting control over run-away emotions make us any less authentic? As far as I know, the human dilemma has never been too much happiness, peace, contentment, or satisfaction. Rather, the problem has always been how to cope with and overcome the painful emotions that make us wish we could crawl out of our own skins, or slaughter one another. After eons of biological evolution, and decades of astonishing technological advancement, are our emotions much more developed than those of our ancient ancestors? Perhaps Emotional Intelligence is something we could use more of, as individuals, and as a species.
Developing "Emotional Intelligence" with NLP & Meta-States, June 25, 2001
L. Michael Hall, PhD. from The Society for NeuroSemanics (Grand Jct., CO, USA)
The authors have expanded the concept of emotional intelligence with the models of NLP and Neuro-Semantics. 7 Steps to Emotional Intelligence provides a practical step by step process for actually developing emotional intelligence.
I was impressed with the many ways that the co-authors show that they are staying current with the field of NLP. In places too numerous to mention here, they offer in both the text and the footnotes comments that indicate that they are not just repeating the basics of classic NLP. They especially integrate several things from Neuro-Semantics into their model, recognizing that we not only have primary emotional states but also higher level emotions, meta-emotions or meta-feelings. They present the Meta-States format of "emotions" as the relationship between Model of the World and Experience of the World (pp. 146-147).
Unafraid to ask the "why" question, the authors provide guidelines for discovering the meaning of emotions: acknowledge that there's both a rational and emotional component in all we do, establish rapport with self, explore the components of your state, ask internal questions, discover reasons for feelings, etc. (pp. 89-91).

Emotions + Intelligence = Wisdom, May 1, 2001
Peter Van Damme, MSc, MBA, from jobEQ (Gent, Belgium)
This book is innovative in its approach to combine EQ with the advances in Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It has succeeded in bringing together our cognitive skills with our emotional riches. Excellence is found whenever people succeed in balancing the two.
As a trainer/coach I intend to use the insights in this book in my daily work. It offers a good mix of theoretical insights with practical hands-on exercises. The authors succeeded in structuring a large body of knowledge into 'seven lessons'. This adds greatly to the understanding of the material. It also helps to use it later as a reference book.
I also enjoyed the well-documented reading list. It is a great way to explore the domain beyond this book. In the appendices you get an overview of NLP and of the use of EQ tools in Human Resource Management.
It is my feeling that the insights of this book can help you to become excellent both in your professional as private life. I hope the insights of this book may enrich your life as it did mine.
