Increase Influence, Overcome Barriers, and Accelerate Performance
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to use emotional information strategically to make better decisions. People who build those skills get better results, develop more fulfilling relationships, and are more effective as leaders.
Research and experience both confirm that emotional intelligence skills are the single most important predictor of leadership effectiveness, employee engagement, and innovation. And the good news is: Everyone can learn emotional intelligence. It’s a set of skills we all have innately as social beings. It takes just six months for most people to start seeing a difference in their work.
Coaching accelerates acquisition of essential skills like self-confidence and emotional awareness, as well as more advanced skills like empathy and problem solving. We begin with a formal assessment of your emotional intelligence skills to pinpoint your strengths and opportunities for growth. From there, we develop a plan to build the targeted emotional intelligence skills that you need for more influence and performance in your day-to-day interactions.
As my clients grow in emotional intelligence, I encourage them to develop their own signature leadership style through defining the values and purpose that drives them. When they start learning how to live their values in their work, they gain a sense of the bigger picture of what is important to the work and the mission, and that’s when they begin to have a bigger impact on their organization. They become more inspirational. Other people stop feeling like they have to work for them and start wanting to work for them. Team members become inspired and motivated, and as a result, start putting in the extra effort needed to increase performance.
When my clients improve their emotional intelligence skills and develop their own leadership style, they begin to develop the leadership strengths and presence that opens doors to new opportunities. They figure out how to have influence up and down the organizational structure and make key relationships in cross-functional teams. Formally and informally, they begin to get recognition from their managers and peers alike. In other words, they have the foundation to become true leaders and make a lasting impact on their organization.
