What Clients Say About Our Emotional Intelligence Workshops and Training
Elevate Oregon
We knew we needed to take our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion from the realm of the abstract, “of course we believe in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; we live it daily” to real and concrete actions that will allow us to keep our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the heart of our work. [Construct the Present’s] work with our staff, youth, and Board was phenomenal and helped people lean into the work and feel confident in the direction that we are going, seeing how this work, even if uncomfortable, will help Elevate Oregon thrive.
Multnomah County
We hired Construct the Present to help our managers and supervisors explore the concepts of whiteness in supervision and white supremacy culture in the workplace. They listened carefully to our needs, and developed a curriculum that was engaging, thought provoking and informative. Our managers commented that this was one of the best equity trainings they’ve been exposed to as a supervisor, and helped set them at ease with such a heavy topic. I would gladly engage with Construct the Present for future training initiatives!
ARQ
Construct the Present did an amazing job working to ensure that our team arrived at the same baseline understanding of important DEI issues through a mix of head and heart experiences and trainings. Since consulting with CTP, it has become common practice for team members at ARQ to confidently bring up the topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion as it relates to almost any department, issue, or initiative. We recognize that DEI work will be a continuous and essential effort, and we are very happy to now have more knowledge and frameworks for continuing this important work at ARQ. Thank you to the CTP team!
Portland Trail Blazers
Construct the Present has an exceptional ability to hold space for large, complex conversations. Their team facilitated an engaging and honest session with over 100 of our staff, creating an environment where people felt both challenged and supported. Their skill in navigating difficult topics with clarity and care is unmatched.
Travel Portland
As a Black femme-led organization, working with Construct The Present felt deeply aligned—not just in terms of shared values, but in how they actually showed up in the work. That alignment brought a level of authenticity and understanding that made a real difference in how the training was facilitated and how our team engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Emotional Intelligence Workshops:
Can EQ workshops be customized for our organization?
Yes — we offer fully customized emotional intelligence training for organizations of all sizes. Share your learning objectives, and we’ll design workshops to meet your goals and foster deeper awareness and connection within your team.
Is EI training a one-time event or an ongoing process?
Emotional intelligence is a journey, not a single event. We offer quarterly workshops, training sessions, and coaching follow-ups to deepen and sustain skill development. Keynotes are also available to introduce EI concepts to broader audiences.
How is the effectiveness of your training measured?
Our emotional intelligence workshops and training programs include comprehensive organizational assessments to measure the impact and effectiveness of each session. By tracking progress step by step, we ensure that your investment in EI development delivers tangible results. These assessments typically include pre- and post-training surveys to evaluate changes in employee self-awareness, empathy, communication, and engagement.
For a deeper understanding of organizational dynamics, our evaluations may also include one-on-one interviews, small group listening sessions, staff and leadership surveys, document reviews, and observational analysis. This multi-layered approach allows us to identify areas of strength, pinpoint growth opportunities, and tailor future workshops to meet the unique emotional intelligence needs of your team. By combining quantitative and qualitative data, we can demonstrate measurable improvements in collaboration, decision-making, and workplace culture over time.
Why are emotional intelligence workshops important for organizations?
Emotional intelligence strengthens organizations by enhancing self-awareness, communication, collaboration, and leadership across all levels. EI training equips team members with the skills to engage more effectively, lead with empathy, and make thoughtful, informed decisions. At the same time, it fosters a culture of trust, inclusion, and mutual respect, creating an environment where individuals and teams can thrive together.
