EQ Coaching  

EQ coaching specifically focuses on the development of emotional skill and competency in the workplace. The result is increased personal effectiveness that brings balance and success at work and in life. As with all coaching, EQ coaching involves a process of creating discovery that supports the client's awareness and understanding of their own emotions and the emotions of others.

Generally speaking, through social conditioning people have become better at avoiding feelings, rather than using emotions effectively. A skillful EQ coach trains in emotional literacy, that is, recognizing, understanding and effectively expressing emotions. EQ coaching assists the process of building emotional skill. We help clients realize their potential EI (Emotional Intelligence), which is an innate human quality. Role-play and other learning activities involve behavioral assignments to practice EI in the workplace and in the world. EQ coaches support clients in recognizing the relationship between their thoughts, feelings and actions and identify possibilities for different behaviors accompanied by new actions to create new results.

EQ Coaches require specialized training in the administration of emotional intelligence assessments and in using specialized techniques of emotional coaching. No form of coaching is intended to be therapy. Rather, coaching follows an educational model focused not on the past but on creating results in the present. EQ Coaches are trained to refer people seeking care and treatment to psychotherapists.

From Emotional Skill to Workplace Competency

EQ coaching can be focused on supporting the development of any type of workplace competency for any job - leadership, sales, technical, management, or financial.  Research has shown that more than 66 2/3% of all workplace competencies required for success are emotionally based.

Since our experience of life is determined by how we feel, think and act, coaching that focuses on those things is a powerful influence for positive, lasting, beneficial changes of behaviors and results.

Finally EQ coaching has a unique potential to liberate one's most authentic, powerful self through the self-empowering disciplines of emotional awareness and emotional management skills.
