Our approach to EI coaching starts with understanding client challenges and goals. These are identified by walking clients through the EI Blueprint, basically, understanding real situations they have faced and how they have managed them.
Next is measurement of skills. The MSCEIT 2 is administered to clients and is sometimes followed with a general personality measure, usually a Big 5 assessment. It's a good combination.
Skills are developed and enhanced, either by working on the skills directly or through remedial strategies. Of course, we utilize our books in the process as well as standard coaching practices.
