AEI - The Center for Advanced Emotional Intelligence
Company History
For more than a decade, AEI has been a pioneer in the field of leadership development. Paul Wieand


The company was officially founded in 1995, the same year that Dan Goleman’s landmark book Emotional Intelligence was published. Goleman’s book provided the basis for examining what management guru Peter Drucker had decades before recognized as a correlation between human development, effective communications, and sustained organizational performance.

Working closely with clients, we have spent more than a decade developing and refining a proprietary process that enables business leaders to draw from both Goleman’s and Drucker’s writings, as well as many others’, in order to effect practical and sustainable change in their organizations.

When we began our work, we were pioneers, but in 2001 our instincts and efforts were overwhelmingly validated. Jim Collins published his Good to Great study, which isolated emotional intelligent leadership (Level 5 Leaders) as the distinguishing trait of companies that dramatically outperformed the market. We seamlessly incorporated Good to Great into our work model.

What continues to set us apart from other coaching firms is our think-tank capability – that is, our commitment to staying on top of and synthesizing the cutting-edge research being done in multiple fields of discipline.

AEI has consulted and coached in some
of the most prestigious firms in the world.
