Unleash Your Emotional Intelligence. Stand out from the pack.

IT'S NOT YOUR IQ that gets you ahead. or ENHANCES your happiness. or makes you MORE comfortable in your own skin. IT'S YOUR EQ.

What's stopping you from maximizing your emotional intelligence?

personal insight? skills training? support? accountability?

You’d have to be living under a rock to be unaware of how important emotional intelligence (EQ) is. There’s virtually no area where improving EQ doesn’t improve results in some way.

EQ helps you understand yourself and others.

EQ forges more collaborative relationships.

EQ is a big part of increasing your overall sense of happiness and well-being.

EQ helps you dodge stress and conquer indecision.

Are those outcomes appealing? Would they make a difference in your life?

Let's Get More Specific

Unlock valuable outcomes that can result from EQ Coaching & Training. Which ones resonate? Think through what challenges you face and how even a little skill- building would make a difference.

Improve interactions with a difficult co-worker, client, boss, relative, significant other, friend, etc. (The possibilities are endless.) Even if you’re the only one who changes.
Avoid impulsively saying or doing things you’ll regret. From losing it in a meeting to firing off an email while furious. And from blurting out something insensitive to eating an entire sleeve of Thin Mints. Impulse control comes in quite handy.
Be adaptable and resilient when work and life throw you curve balls. Unexpected things happening isn’t the exception. It’s the rule.
Stay cool in tough situations when others might be emotional. Problem-solve without getting sucked into the drama.
Express emotions comfortably rather than stuffing or avoiding them.
Have the purpose, energy and focus to reach goals you set out to achieve
Build relationships rooted in trust and compassion
Recognize, understand and respect how other people feel or how they experience a situation.
Remain objective. See things how they really are, rather than only from your perspective.
Confidently make decisions – including the tough ones.
Break free from the need for approval.
Identify what you’re feeling (you’re more than happy, sad, or angry) and why so you can approach the situation in a productive way.
Respect yourself and your needs – while aware of your strength and weaknesses. Exude the self-confidence you feel.

How Do I Build My EQ?

It’s not as difficult as you may suspect when you go about it the right way.

Your EQ-i 2.0 report and your real-world experiences supply the information you need to choose which areas would most benefit from improvement.

With the identified areas top of mind, each week you get exercises to practice in your typical day.

The more you practice these skills – with my support and that of others in your cohort – the more comfortable you become with your new ways of thinking and being.

That’s why this is an 8-week program instead of 8 hours in one day. You have time to practice and build skills. It’s entirely possible to make impactful changes in 8 weeks.

How Does the Emotional Intelligence Coaching & Training Program Work?

This course lasts eight weeks. The cohort is kept small, so you still get individual attention. The small group setup is ideal to learn from one another, too.

Weekly live Zoom sessions are recorded to re-watch later if you wish. You can also book one 1:1 call with me at any time during the training.

Using your individual EQ-i 2.0 report you see what areas of EQ are already strengths and which areas are ripe for skill development.

Each week building on the last, you learn and practice strategies to shift your thinking and behaviors. You also take away strategies to keep using your newly acquired insights and skills. After all, what good is a new skill set if it doesn’t stick beyond the training program.

Getting You Going

Within 24 hours of registering (probably much more quickly) you’ll receive an email inviting you to take the EQ-i 2.0 online. You won’t receive your report immediately, but you will receive it no later than the day before the program begins.

Starting the Learning

During the 8 one-hour sessions, we follow a proven structure to explore, learn, and apply new concepts, skills, and tools.

Of course, time is carved out for questions, discussions and sharing experiences as much or as little as you wish.

Having received your private, individual report you’ll see areas where you may be quite strong and other areas that would benefit from skill building. There are 15 “subscales” on your report as well as a Well-Being score. (I know you don’t know what any of that means yet. But you will.) The report is packed with information that you’ll be guided through along the way.

The End Is Also The Beginning

That’s what training should be, right? In a properly designed training program you learn for a period of time then use what you learned. Once you’ve completed the training you continue the growth by sustaining those new skills and behaviors into the future.

You can see significant changes just within the duration of the training. And when you continue to use your learning and new skills, you’ll just keep improving.

Unlike IQ, which peaks at around age 17 and stays at the level for life, EQ naturally peaks at age 40. But with EQ, you can keep improving as long as you wish.

We know it’s not about the “score” but about what the score indicates. But your score can continue to rise over months, weeks and years when you continue to use your new skills.

What's Included?

Who Should Enroll?

People who benefit from this course include those who want to continue their personal growth, be ready for the next step in their career, lead with confidence (even if you’re just leading yourself), be more empathetic, and play well with others. This is for working people, retired people, young adult people and curious people. It’s not for complacent people.

The areas below are a powerful illustration of what EQ impacts.

Self-Regard
Emotional Self-Awareness
Emotional Expression
Assertiveness
Independence
Empathy
Problem-Solving
Impulse Control
Flexibility
Stress Tolerance
Optimism

It’s sounds hokey or sales-y to say that everyone can benefit from improved EQ. But it’s also true. The difference between those who do and those who don’t is that the “do-ers” stand out from the pack in every context. And life is quite a bit less stressful. There’s no situation where being even marginally more emotionally intelligent isn’t a win.
