“We dream of a world in which people are able to thrive as a person and inspire as leaders because they learned how to embrace the power of emotional awareness. »
Layla El Mourabit
The world is changing rapidly. And while doing our best to keep up, we risk outrunning ourselves. Why? Because we forget what is truly important: the right pair of shoes.
Pairing IQ and EQ is the only way to harness the full potential of your organisation. Because businesses require more than a visionary, result-driven CEO and a decisive management committee to tackle today’s complex challenges.
Leaders who dare to combine this with an increase in emotional awareness, are able to achieve their strategic objectives in a sustainable and socially responsible way.
Pairing IQ with EQ will make your business run like Usain Bolt.

“The Organizational Development Program at Watson & Associates was one of the most impactful training sessions I have ever participated in. I’m convinced that a good team dynamic forms the basis for a good team performance – and that this dynamic starts with understanding the underlying individual drives of each team member.”
« I heard about Watson Associates through an article on LinkedIn. The article appealed to me, as it responded to my personal quest for « who am I as a leader », as well as what possible training courses I could follow to strengthen my current or future position.
I received a questionnaire containing only 20 questions. The analysis of my profile following my responses, was not just highly accurate and educational, but also quite confrontational. It was precisely because of the latter part that the first two coaching sessions were a lot of hard work and I feel that it has become clearer to me how I react to my environment, by getting to know myself in my behavioral patterns.
The approach of the coaches was very unique and original, which really led to amazing results. Almost from the first introduction session I felt the impact of being more self-aware.
I would highly recommend the Profiling & Individual Development Program at Watson & Associates to anyone who is ready for the next step! »
“Aside from the quality of the proposed candidates, I measure a collaboration with a recruitment partner to attract candidates by its honest, direct, and transparent communication. Watson & Associates definitely deserves outstanding marks on both criteria. During the search of our new Service Delivery Manager, they were able to get a feel for our company culture and the kind of personalities that would be best suited for us.”
Aside from the quality of the proposed candidates, I measure a collaboration with a recruitment partner by its honest, direct and transparent communication. Watson & Associates definitely deserves outstanding marks on both criteria during the search of our new Service Delivery Manager. Layla was able to get a feel for our company culture and the kind of personalities that would be best suited for us. She stepped in to adjust and redirect when needed. Her guidance during the live shortlist presentation was also very professional and efficient. I am convinced that all the candidates had a similarly positive experience, even the ones that didn’t end up getting the job.
Layla inspired me to move forward with my career in a very professional manner. Her transparency together with her outstanding contact with my new employer really made the difference.
It was a pleasure receiving her help & coaching during the end to end recruitment process – no detail went unnoticed hence I am convinced if you get the opportunity to work with her you shouldn’t hesitate!
