What is coaching?

  • Coaching is partnering with someone who creates a safe space for you to explore those ideas occupying your brain, be asked questions that make you think about things with a new perspective and to open up new possibilities. I always start a session thinking I have the solution and I come away with a new outlook and new approach. It is liberating to be raw with ourselves and start to “own our own stuff”. And then to watch the transformation unfold is an energizing feeling. With our career, with how we interact with others, even with how we make decisions. Unlimited potential.

    ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The results can be life changing. Clients often say they’ve created a new outlook on life, finding inspiration, courage, confidence and answers to long-burning questions within themselves.

    We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we’re striving to overcome and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a coach can change your life, setting you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.

what is emotional intelligence?

EQ-i Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of those around you.

Employees with high emotional intelligence are more likely to:

  • stay calm under pressure,

  • resolve conflict effectively,

  • respond to co-workers with empathy

Leadership & Emotional Intelligence

While technical skills may help you quickly climb into a management position, your soft skills are what will help you successfully lead teams and foster positive workplace relationships. Emotional intelligence, in particular, is a key leadership skill that will help you effectively coach team members, solve problems, and collaborate with colleagues.

The level of emotional intelligence you're able to cultivate has an extraordinary and immediate impact on the people around you, and in many cases, on the trajectory of your career.

Some believe that EQ level is more predictive of success than a person's IQ.
