At BE and EMI, we share a fundamental belief: awareness is the foundation for meaningful growth. BE provides an essential first step—providing behavioral insights and coaching that help organizations hire with intention, unlock potential, navigate conflict, and scale growth.
Through our Step Back Sessions, EMI then ensures that this awareness translates into lasting change by facilitating ongoing team conversations that strengthen reflection, emotional intelligence, and resilience—fostering long-term well-being and sustained team success. Together, we:
- Equip leaders and teams with breakthrough awareness through BE’s E3 Behavioral Assessment.
- Reinforce key insights with structured conversations that turn awareness into actionable outcomes.
- Create long-term cultural shifts by combining BE’s expertise in leadership development and conflict resolution with EMI’s focus on proactive mental well-being and team-wide growth.
How Our Partnership Works in Practice
Step 1: Gaining Awareness Through BE’s Behavioral Assessment

BE’s E3 Behavioral Assessment is a science-backed tool designed to decode the behavioral patterns that influence workplace dynamics, leadership effectiveness, and team performance. By providing data-driven insights, the E3 helps organizations:
- Hire people who will thrive on their team, identifying candidates with behaviors naturally suited for the role and company culture
- Grow self-aware leaders and teams, helping them communicate more effectively and work together better
Step 2: Individual and Team Coaching with BE
Once leaders and teams have their assessment results, BE offers coaching to help individuals apply their newfound awareness to workplace challenges. Through individual and team coaching, leaders learn to:
- Recognize strengths and blind spots.
- Improve communication and collaboration.
- Respond to challenges with clarity, calm, and care.

Step 3: Reinforcing Growth Through EMI’s Step Back Sessions
EMI’s Step Back Sessions are structured, value-driven discussions seamlessly integrated into team routines using EMI’s digital platform. These 15-30 minute sessions, led by internal team members, ensure sustainable and scalable impact by reinforcing key insights through:
- Leadership Development – Encouraging reflection on behaviors, communication, and decision-making.
- Team Accountability – Aligning actions with shared values to build trust and cohesion.
- Emotional Intelligence – Enhancing self-awareness and adaptability in team interactions.
- Proactive Problem-Solving – Equipping teams to navigate challenges before they escalate.
Unlike one-time interventions, Step Back Sessions create ongoing reinforcement, fostering stronger relationships, sustained self-awareness, and high performance over time. This consistent, embedded approach turns insight into lasting transformation.
