Emotional Intelligence Booster Card Set

Great Emotional Intelligence (A.K.A. EI or EQ) skill-building tool for personal and professional use!

This interactive Emotional Intelligence Booster card set helps individuals, couples, and families build the essential skills of recognizing, naming, and expressing emotions. Whether used at home, in counseling sessions, or in the classroom, it's an engaging and effective way to develop and improve emotion and communication skills.

While teaching communication skills to groups of parents, I quickly realized how often people are held back by a limited emotion vocabulary. They simply don’t have enough words to accurately describe what they —and others— are feeling. That insight led me to create the list of 101 emotions that forms the foundation of this card set that I still use every day in my counseling practice.

Using emotions effectively makes life better. EI Booster can fast-track the learning process and support growth in self-awareness, empathy, and clear communication.

One Family's Story

Quite a few years ago, I worked with a couple who then purchased the Emotional Intelligence Booster cards to use at home.

They used the cards to spur conversation with them and their children during dinner. 

I bumped into the woman in the grocery store one day several years after our last session, and she was excited to tell me the story of her son's experience in Kindergarten. 

Her son's teacher had presented the class with pictures of "happy faces" showing different emotional expressions. Each child around a circle took turns declaring what emotion they thought was represented by the pictures. One of the pictures was labelled sad by a number of children. My client's child chimed in, "I don't think that's sad. I think that's disappointed."  

The teacher was so impressed that she told the mom the story. 

Clearly, her son had learned a lot from the family Emotional Intelligence Booster dinner time conversation routine.
