Coach with
Emotional
Intelligence
Unlock your potential as a coach and achieve extraordinary results with your clients.
We support coaches and clients to stretch and grow with emotional intelligence.
Coaches facilitate change. Did you know that 70% of change efforts fail – primarily due to a lack of attention to emotions? Certified Emotional Intelligence Coaches ask questions and model behaviors that help clients harness and navigate the power of emotions.
Emotional intelligence coaches:
• partner with clients, building a trust-based relationship
• ask powerful questions so the client develops clarity
• stand as “guide on the side,” honoring the client’s wisdom so they find their own solutions
• engage the client’s strength & encourage the exploration of the emotions in a way that drive action steps
• invite the client to see they have the resources and capability to sustain growth
Emotional intelligence is a learnable, measurable skillset for being smarter with feelings – and the secret ingredient of highly effective coaches.
