• You understand that leadership is your most important investment.
• You want to spend wisely and shape the next generation of authentic and emotionally intelligent leaders.

What are the benefits of EI Coaching?

The EI Coaching will provide you with:

• An accurate picture of your current level of EI competencies
• An understanding of how others perceive you, along with clarity with respect to your blind spots, strengths and areas for growth
• A set of practices for improving your EI competencies and taking your leadership to the next level
• An ideal vision of yourself that will maintain the drive you need to undergo changes

If you are looking to improve EI competencies only to maximize your performance at work (i.e., if your focus is narrow), you may not end up creating lasting changes.

Your leadership development must be guided by your personal vision and powered by what really matters to you.

How does EI Coaching work?

The first step is to conduct an EI assessment to help you become more self-aware, including an understanding of your blind spots.

I am certified to conducted two types of EI assessments:
EQ -I 2.0 (individual and 360) and WEQ individual emotional intelligence assessment.

EQ -I 2.0 assessments are self-reported while WEQ assessment is based on your actual response in the moment, under stress and in relationship as you are watching 8 short video segments where you is being directly challenged by another person.

EQ-I 2.0 assessments are using the Rueven Bar-On model for measuring emotional quotient (EQ). These assessments are self-reported and they cover 15 EI competencies (subscales) organized into the 5 scales below.

Interpersonal

• Interpersonal Relationships
• Empathy
• Social Responsibility

Optimism, interpersonal relationships, self-regard and self-actualization are used as indicators for personal well-being and happiness.

To learn more about EQ-I 2.0 competencies, visit the Resources section.

WEQ assessment measures the following core capacities of Emotional intelligence. These include:

Empathy:
Both empathy accuracy, the ability to tune into others and accurately see what they experience, and empathy compassion, the ability to join the other in caring ways and to stay connected with another when challenged.

Should you decide to proceed with EI Coaching, below is a potential framework we might follow:

1. Context Setting: Provide an overview of EI Competencies and the available assessments
2. Initial Survey: Understand what you think you need to work on
3. Assessments and Analysis: Conduct assessments and provide debrief (visit the Resources section to learn more about assessments), identify blind spots and create a baseline
4. Create a Vision: Develop a strong image of your ideal future self
5. Action Plan Development: Create a personalized development plan leveraging existing strengths
6. 1:1 Coaching: Three times a month over a period of 6 months to practice new leadership skills and create new habits
7. Feedback: Measure progress and provide feedback at regular checkpoints
8. Assessments and Analysis: Debrief on the progress made and create a Sustainment Plan

At the end of our coaching engagement, you should expect a significant improvement in your EI competencies and a clear path for moving forward. In addition, you should begin to find and channel your inner coach.
