Using EI in the Coaching Process

The job of the coach is to help the client discover areas of growth potential, and to then guide that client in the growth process. What better area to grow than EI? The difficult challenge of being either a counselor or a coach is in helping the client discover not only their behaviors, but the reasons behind the behaviors. It is always easier to change a behavior when we recognize the real reasons behind our behaviors.

The EI assessment published by MHS, and particularly the EQ 360, provide both the client and the coach with the insight needed to HELP in the discovery process. The hard work is still up to the client, but there is nothing like the EQ Report to help us really focus on the foundations.
