About the Speaker:

Carrie Rule | Emotional Intelligence Coach
I’m not your typical emotional intelligence coach.
I didn’t come to this work through a psychology degree or a textbook on EQ. I came to it
by living it, by asking deeper questions, sitting with discomfort, and relentlessly
exploring how we become more self-aware, more grounded, and more compassionate
humans in a rapidly changing world.
My research and experience haven’t been focused on emotional intelligence in the
traditional sense. Instead, I’ve immersed myself in the building blocks of EQ:
1.) Self-awareness
2.) Self-regulation
3.) Self-motivation
4.) Empathy
And I’ve done it by stepping outside the usual lanes.
My learning has taken me into quantum physics, biology, neuroscience, and somatic
wisdom. I’ve participated in cutting-edge conversations and research inspired by Otto
Scharmer’s Theory U and the concept of 4th-person knowing. I’ve studied with the
Harvard Humanistic Leadership Academy, diving into what leadership could look like
when it’s built around wholeness, dignity, and human flourishing.
I’ve explored emotional intelligence not just in theory, but in practice through one-on-one
coaching, immersive group learning, and powerful equine-facilitated experiences that
bring emotion, awareness, and communication into the body in a whole new way.
My conversations span continents and sectors, as I connect with leaders who are daring
to ask: What else is possible for our teams, our systems, and ourselves?
This work is not about perfection. It’s about practice.
It’s about finding the courage to become more present, more emotionally agile, and
more fully human.
