Psychometrics Assessments: Emotional Intelligence (EI)

To be more effective at work and life, explore and develop your EQ capacity. The EQ-i 2.0 Assessment is a scientific tool based on 20+ years of international research. The EQ-i model of emotional intelligence was first formulated by Dr. Reuven Bar-On, where the "i" stands for "inventory". 

The "inventory" analysis includes 15 dimensions (competencies), which represent 5 components (areas):

  • Self-Perception,
  • Self-Expression,
  • Interpersonal,
  • Decision Making and
  • Stress Management.

The fifteen competencies, taken together, provide a total EQ.

Having an assessment gives an increased self-awareness for you to better decide on your next steps in becoming better with your own emotions, having better relationships with others, being a more effective leader and a strong team player.

FAQ

Career coaching is a personalized process where a trained professional helps individuals explore, define, and achieve their career goals. It involves providing guidance, support, and practical strategies to enhance career development and success.

Career coaching can help you gain clarity about your career direction, identify and leverage your strengths, improve your job search strategies, enhance your networking skills, develop effective career plans, and overcome obstacles that may be holding you back from reaching your professional goals.

According to EQ-i: Emotional intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we:

● Perceive and express ourselves
● Develop and maintain relationships
● Cope with challenges
● Use emotional information to be effective

In the coaching process, you can expect a collaborative and supportive relationship with your coach.  At the beginning of each session we agree on a goal and work on what matters to YOU.  You initiate the agenda and the desired outcome. Using your own thoughts and reflection, I get you to insights through a productive thinking system, assessments, and exercises. This will  increase your self-awareness, help to set meaningful goals, develop action plans. I will hold you motivated, accountable to help you achieve your desired results.

Typically my clients get to a breakthrough in 15 minutes. However, some of my clients prefer to explore several goals. I set my coaching sessions to max. 45 minutes, to avoid overload of your brain. 30 minutes of coaching is enough to keep your creative thinking areas of the brain stay activated during 3 months.

Before starting a coaching program, we will agree on a clear end goal that YOU want to achieve and agree on a schedule that fits us both. Ideally, to have weekly or biweekly sessions. In between coaching sessions you will have worksheets with coaching exercises as a part of the coaching program. Each coaching session will be 15-45 minutes.

Counselling and therapy – is focused on your emotional and physiological state, to bring you to a resourceful state. It explores your past in details.

Coaching – is focused on clear goals, future, solutions, actions and sees you as a resourceful individual. It is a tool to get you fast and smooth from point A to point B, using YOUR own thoughts and experiences. YOU choose your goals and actions. Coach is using questions to stimulate insights, challenge your motivations, biases in order to think beyond your current thinking and get to your true self. Coach also mirrors your thoughts and shares observations about your patterns and energy shifts. 

Mentoring – guiding you to your goals using mentor’s knowledge and experience, pointing direction and actions you should take. Mentor shares his or her own experience and feedback on your progress.

When tailoring my coaching programs, I take into consideration my personal and professional experience, going through success and failures. Additionally, I have my own coach and a mentor. I continuously study and test various tools, approaches, techniques, assessments. I collaborate with other coaches to learn from others. Finally, I leverage my knowledge in psychology, cognitive behaviour therapy, and continue study cognitive neuroscience. 

Developing your Emotional Intelligence capacity is all about being effective in life and at work. If you want to improve your emotional intelligence, coaching is an effective approach. Working with an EQ coach provides you with:

  • plan that is designed for you.
  • keeps you stay on track.
  • holds you accountable.
  • serves as your support system.
  • equips you with techniques and strategies.
  • helps to identify your desired direction.
  • shift mindset and see new different perspectives.

Yes, coaching can be highly valuable during career transitions and industry changes. A coach can provide guidance in assessing transferable skills, exploring new opportunities, crafting a compelling personal brand, developing a job search strategy, or start a new business.

I have an accreditation from International Coaching Federation (ICF). ICF is an organisation that sets the world highest standards of coaching services. I am also a certified leadership coach, specialised in neuroleadership. I bring the knowledge about how our brain works in my coaching.

I am a well-trained and certified EQ-i 2.0/360 administrator and also have expertise in MBTI, DISC, SAFETY model and Clifton Strengths assessment interpretation.

I have worked with tech startup founders, investors, federal institutions, accelerators, incubators, NPO’s and currently working in a top-tier federal university in the Middle East as a career coach.

This is very common across successful entrepreneurs, when you hit an important milestone in your life. When you have achieved your previous dreams and goals, you simply reach to a point where your life values and priorities change. 

Coaching is one of the powerful tools that can accelerate bringing clarity to what your new desires are, re-define your new personal identity and equip you with techniques and strategies to develop a plan towards your new exciting life.
