24. EQ Case Study 1
Meet George, the office manager. Rob is the scheduling coordinator on his team.
George and Rob were discussing the challenges with scheduling appointments
now that offices and scheduling options are opening up again and patient
requests are picking up. Rob was excited to share with George some new ideas
he had to improve the process.
George was skeptical of Rob’s ideas and challenged his assumptions and
rationale for the approach. George insisted that Rob stick with the original
direction he had been given. They’d used this approach before, and he was sure
it would work. Rob tried to explain, but George was in a hurry to get to the next
meeting.
Discussion Questions:
• What is likely to be the outcome in this situation?
• What emotions are likely present in this situation?
• What are the EQ opportunities in this situation for both George and Rob?
• What EQpowerment strategies could both George and Rob use to help
influence the outcome?

25. EQ Case Study 2
Meet Sylvia, a speech-language pathologist. Sylvia has been working with Jen, an
eight-year-old girl, for the past four months. Jen is sensitive to some of the
challenges with her speech. She gets teased at school by the other children. She’s
afraid to open up to Sylvia for fear she’ll be belittled and reprimanded, so the
progress has been slower than both Sylvia and Jen’s parents would like to have
seen by this point.
Sylvia learns that Jen’s family immigrated to the US from another country. Her
parents don’t speak fluent English. They request a meeting with Sylvia to discuss
Jen’s progress and her treatment plan. Sylvia expressed her frustration to her
husband, ”People often just don’t understand what we do and how a child’s
development might progress. Every child is different. The parents also have to take
some ownership for why we are where we are at this stage.”
Discussion Questions:
• What is likely to be the outcome in this situation?
• What emotions are likely present in this situation?
• What are the EQ opportunities in this situation for Sylvia, Jen, & Jen’s parents?
• What EQpowerment strategies could be used to help influence the outcome?
