Give the Gift That Lasts Forever: Emotional Intelligence Coaching


Emotional Intelligence Coaching is the perfect Christmas Gift.

For men and women; for executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, workers, first-jobbers, career changers, and retirees; teens, young adults, midlifers, seniors and elders; people seeking lifeskills and people seeking philosophical meaning. To learn to love better, work better, tolerate stress better. It works for everyone.
I've coached them all and the most common thing I hear, besides "thank you" is "THIS is the missing piece." My youngest client was 6 and my oldest client was 82.
It's a meaningful gift that will last a lifetime. Includes Internet course. Send inquiries to sdunn@susandunn.cc . It's a forever gift that takes an instant to send. I will send a beautiful gift card announcing your gift either by email or snail mail, up until Christmas Day. The EQ Course is also available for gift-giving.
Emotions don't belong in the workplace? With certain types, if you know what I meant, when I tell them I teach and coach Emotional Intelligence, they stick up their nose, or laugh, nervously. Emotions have long been considered anathema in the workplace, especially, for instance in the operating room or the law firm, but thinking they subvert logic and rational thinking doesn't mean they aren't there. Many of the people most in need of emotional intelligence are the people withi IQs in the genius range who can't get their lives together on any other front, or, and here's a dire example, the engineer in the nuclear plant who was so "in his head" he missed all the clues that the reactor was about to blow. Emotional Intelligence training is highly useful for accident prevention.
People who refuse to acknowledge or deal with the emotional component that exists in every interaction, are the ones most likely to be at their mercy. Consider, for instance, the alpha male, as cited in the Harvard Business Review, whose intimidation (through emotion -- what else intimidates?) leaves him bereft of the crucial information he needs to make viable decisions that effect the bottom line.
EMOTIONS ARE IN THE WORKPLACE - Deal with it!
The Unison blog , News and Resources for Building Extraordinary Relationships, cites an article by Michael Rock, Ed.D., entitled
"The person in question came alive as never before. It was as though I had hit a real nerve. I could almost see the veils of his protective self just melt away, and instead of that look of analysis, there was a look of openness. [emphasis mine, because this is the look that accompanies "THIS is the missing piece"!] The executive began talking about his inability to get his team motivated. [Motivation is a FEELING word, not a THINKING word, that's his problem.] The "who" part of my question got him discussing his frustration [an emotion that blocks clear thinking] with two team members in particular. But this session was different: he wasn't point fingers [rational] he was accepting his role in the workplace scenario. He was asking for pointers to "unblock" himself [i.e., learn EQ].
That's what Emotional Intelligence is all about - removing blocks. Yours, theirs, his, hers. Every problem has an emotional component that must be addressed, and a solution that involves moving those emotions.
PRESS RELEASE
Dallas, Texas, December 14, 2006 – If you’re still hunting for the perfect gift for someone, Susan Dunn, MA, of Momentum Coaching has an idea that’s sure to please: Emotional Intelligence Coaching. This is a gift that will truly last forever.

Emotional Intelligence Coaching is perfect for everyone on your list. Learning the components of emotional intelligence demystifies the things that are most puzzling in life, the things that don’t get taught in school. Your Emotional Intelligence (EQ) can be more important to your success in life, both relationships and career, than your IQ. And, as the recent Times cover story on education mentioned, emotional intelligence is a vital commodity in today’s world and for the future.

Emotional Intelligence coaching is a gift that will benefit your recipient for years into the future.
“Emotional Intelligence coaching is about helping people get to the next level, create the next stage of their live, transform their current situation, or learn specific skills such as leadership, creativity, focus, life balance, managing change, using good judgment, anger-management and more clarity.”

Dunn, who has a master’s degree in clinical psychology and is a founding member of CoachVille, has worked with professionals, executives, retirees, at-home moms, step-parents, teenagers, and other coaches whom she trains and certifies in Emotional Intelligence. “Almost the first thing I hear from clients and coaches alike is ‘This is the missing piece.’ Whether it’s to build your own business, get the promotion at work, be a more effective manager or CEO, coach better or be a better lawyer, avoid the most common reason for getting sued as a doctor, attract the man of your dreams, become more resilient in today’s stressful and fast-changing workplace, or get more fulfillment out of your current relationships, work and life, Emotional Intelligence can be the golden key that opens the door.”

Coaching was cited as one of the growth professions for the next decade, for good reason. Coaches collaborate with clients to get them from A to B, in one of the most efficient, effective, user-friendly methods there is. Coaches work on-site, by telephone or email, making their services easily-available for people already stressed for time.

“Emotional Intelligence is a worldwide phenomenon,” says Dunn, who has trained coaches and offered Emotional Intelligence coaching to individuals in Malaysia, Germany, Wales, Australia, the Phillipines, Beijing, the UK, Singapore, India, and all over the U.S.

Momentum Coaching works with individuals who understand that underneath any challenge or problem, there is an emotional component, and that includes when you think emotions are soft, or squishy or touchy-feeling. It is problem, but also the solution.
There’s nothing soft about the CEO whose intimidation is leaving him bereft of crucial information, the rainmaker whose abrasive personality is driving off the young employees on whom the future of the firm depends, the engineer who misses a crucial malfunction in the new nuclear energy plant because he’s ‘all in his head’, or the millionaire who, like Andrew Mellon, has only his paintings to relate to, talking about them as if they were flesh-and-blood relationships.

Giving Emotional Coaching as a gift is as easy as it is meaningful. Contact the Emotional Intelligence Coach and they will send a beautiful card by email or snail mail.
