Why Coaching?
Coaching is a powerful process of developing awareness, overcoming obstacles, and intentionally choosing the best path forward. For many, it is a life changing process with dramatic results both personally and professionally. As a professional coach, you have the opportunity to empower clients with the tools they need to achieve their goals and more.
What Is an Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Coach?
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Coaches are coaches with specialized training in emotional intelligence and how to leverage emotions as resources to achieve extraordinary results with clients.
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
The leading certification for EQ Coaches is Six Seconds’ ICF accredited coaching programs.
