Emotional Intelligence Coaching
Emotional Intelligence
Developing higher levels of Emotional Intelligence has been proven to be the single most powerful contributor to advancing your career, professional and personal relationships, and overall happiness.
Emotional Intelligence EI is a relatively recent behavioral model, rising ot prominence with Daniel Golema's 1995 book called 'Emotional Intelligence'. The early Emotional Intelligence theory was originally developed during the 1970s and 80s by the work and writings of psychologists Howard Gardner (Harvard), Peter Salovey (Yale) and John Mayer (New Hampshire). Emotional Intelligence is increasingly relevant to organizational development and developing people because the EI principles provide a new way to understand and assess people's behaviors, management styles, attitudes, interpersonal skills, and potential. Emotional Intelligence is an important consideration in human resources planning, job profiling, recruitment interviewing and selection, management development, customer relations and customer service, and more.
Emotional Intelligence links strongly with concepts of love and spirituality, bringing compassion and humanity to work, and also to 'Multiple Intelligence' theory which illustrates and measures the range of capabilities people possess and the fact that everybody has a value.
The EQ concept argues that IQ, or conventional intelligenvce is too narrow; that there are wider areas of emotional intelligence that dictate and enable hopw successful we are. Success requires more than IQ (Intelligence QUotient) which has tended ot be the traditional measure of intelligence, ignoring essential behavioral and character elements. We've all met people who are academically brilliant and yet are socially and inter-personally inept. And we know that despite possessing a high IQ rating, success does not automatically follow.
This is the essential premise of EI
TO be successful requires the effective awareness, control and management of one's own emotions, and those of other people. Emotional Intelligence embraces and draws from numerous other branches of behavioral, emotional and communications theories. By developing our Emotional Intelligencve in the five EI domains we can become more productive and successful too. The process and outcomes of Emotional Intelligence development also contain many elements known to reduce stress for individuals and organizations, by decreasing conflict, improving relationships and understanding, and increasing stability, continuity and harmony.

Spiritual Coaching
Spiritual Coaching
Spiritual Coaching is a journey of self-discovery in which we learn to understand the grace and nature of God. We focus on connecting or reconnecting to the love of God, with a new level of committment.
"...for I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -The Book of Jeremiah
"God's Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go against his will? The part that He has saved for you to take in working out His plan is given to you that you might be restored to what He wills. This part is essential to His plan as to your happiness. Your joy must be complete to let His plan be understood by those to whom he sends you. They will see their function in your shining face, and hear God calling to them inj your happy laugh" - ACIM
Our approach is rooted in spiritual principles, aimed to deepen and add fulfillment to your walk; in an unwavering relationship with your creator. Together we will work to help stimulate your thinking with a fresh approach to living everyday with faith in GOd as you cultivate the untapped wealth of the human spirit.
"Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or walking comes near to such loveliness. And nothing will you value like unto this, nor hold so dear. Nothing that you remember that made your heart sing with joy has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You will behold the beauty the Holy Spirit loves to look upon, and which he thanks the Father for. He was created to see this for you, until you learned to see it for yourself. And all his teaching leads to seeing it and giving thanks with him." -ACIM
Our confidence and self-esteem flourishes when we have spirituality as a foundation. This allows you to have unwavering peace and confidence in the pursuit of your purpose. To walk in forgiveness, congruence and confidence is our goal; to help you have an unbelievable walk with your creator and to enjoy greater health and provision.
It is my experience that many feel fettered. Many people feel governed by the law of scarcity. This may manifest as fear, stress, self-loathing, or displaced guilt which then manifests into the feeling of being trapped - fettered by a job, financial constraints, unhealthy relationships, or by a demanding life style. Feeling this way can become a nightmare from which you feel you cannot awaken. God has created provision for us; we simply have to learn about the spiritual factors that we put into motion when we work through our errors in judgment.
Since each coaching relationship is different and naturally unravels... here are some thoughts that guide me and my suggestions to those who participate with me in this type of relationship:
Spirituality should, in my perspective, be incorporated with a love for God, ourselves and people. We should also understand that freedom is not really experienced until we find the discipline necessary to follow our convictions consistently. It would seem to be a great paradox, but freedom is born from discipline. As we mature spiritually there can often be ego investment so we have to be careful not to fall into the snares of pride.
We use the bible and ACIM as point of reference.
I would love to help you learn to see God in a new light through renewed faith and to understand his grace a little more. Some of the things I engage in so that my clients see a difference in their lives, are prayer and fasting.
- Find your life's purpose
- Regain your vitality and joy
- Create more internal freedom
- Become a learned spiritual leader/Pastor
- Create a balanced and healthy lifestyle
- Overcome problems or issues in personal relationships
- Free yourself from projections/fears

Intrapreneurial Coaching
Intrapreneurial Coaching
When our career success is a major focus; personal branding becomes the route to achieving that success.
What is personal branding?
Our personal brand is the image we demonstrate to others by consistently acting out a particular set of values. A professional decides what values will be most beneficial to his taarget audience before things ever get started. The wonderful thing about branding is it can be very empowering. It allows us to have control over what others experience or percieve about the value we provide; and based on the psychological principle of 'Locus of Control' we become much happier when we feel in control.
When personal branding is applied correctly; you can increse your income, fulfillment and favor with those who have the power to propel your career forward. You will learn how to leverage your personal power to achieve all you ever wanted to accomplish in your career. Traditional thinking dictates that if people work hard they will be rewarded with challenging work, fancier job titles and higher salaries. But with the nature of business, work and jobs has changed as organizations, in many industries struggle to remain competetive. In these times of continuous change and economic challenges; new technology, foreign competition and "rightsizings" are eliminating many jobs permanently. There are less middle management positions and fewer career paths within many companies. No longer can you expect the company you work for to take care of you. You must be proactive if you are to be successful.
Resistance and procrastination can also block us from finding satisfying work. Resistance is the force that keeps us from taking positive action; choosing comfort and safety over challenge and growth. Career coaching can help you focus on results to minimize resistance and procrastination.
- Do you have skills and abilities you are not using in your current job/career?
- Do you feel underemployed?
- Would you like to express more creativity in your work?
- Can you see yourself doing the same thing five or ten years from now?
- Do you feel burned out?
- Are you unfocused?
- Do you have conflicts with your co-workers or supervisors?
- Have you received poor performance reviews or been terminated from your job?
- Do you know what you want to do, but you don't know how to get there?
- Are you growing professionally and personally?

Relationship Coaching
Relationship Coaching
Has your relationship grown cool or even cold?
Do you remember when you first fell in love … how you couldn’t wait to be together? You couldn’t get enough of each other. Somehow time seems to have cooled your relationship, perhaps even caused a chill! You still love each other, but somehow the passion has slipped away. The good news is that that’s not normal and the great news is that those old feelings can and should be recaptured. Time should not cool your romance and relationship … time should strengthen your bonds and needs for each other. If this paragraph has described any part of your relationship, Relationship Coaching can help return your passions and may well be necessary to save your relationship.
Who needs Relationship Coaching?
- Couples who have lost their ability to communicate easily.
- Couples who have seen their passion for each other cool.
- Couples who lost some of their sexual attraction for each other.
- Couples who no longer feel the need to be together.
- Couples who are considering separation or divorce.
- Couples who are suffering the aftermath of infidelity.
- Couples who want to save a fragile marriage but need help.
- Couples who want to recapture the feelings they once had for each other.
- Couples whose relationships are not strengthening, growing deeper and warming with time.
- Couples, whose sexual relationships have cooled, become routine and chore-like over the years. Sex in the Golden Years should be the best sex ever.
- Relationship Coaching will benefit individuals and couples seeking greater intimacy, stronger relationships and wanting to gain maximum pleasure and satisfaction from their sexual activities.
How does Relationship Coaching differ from other forms of therapy?
Relationship Coaching is a relatively new profession dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve their highest Relationship potential and sexual pleasure and satisfaction. It differs from other forms of therapy in that it is client goal oriented and thus realizes your goals much faster than insight and analysis oriented therapies. It is in fact so effective that many psychotherapists have adapted Relationship Coaching methods into their own practices. In Relationship Coaching the focus is on how to make it better rather than why it isn’t working well.
For most of these problems three to six sessions will be all that are necessary for resolution.
To begin there is a free phone interview from 20 to 30 minutes in which we will define your problems and your goals will be established. At that time we will determine how many sessions reaching your goals should take and an estimated price will be set.

Online Dating and Date Coaching
Those who want the best results work with a personal trainer. We are the personal trainers for people who want to fall in love. My mission is to give intelligent, successful, motivated people like you the tools to create, attract and keep the relationship that you desire.
No matter how bright you are, no matter how old you are, no matter how much you know yourself, you still have blind spots. We all do. Dating coaching is about shining the light on those blind spots. It's about understanding the opposite sex and developing a greater sense of self-awareness. It's about figuring out what's holding you back, and moving you forward without obstacles.
Keep reading to learn about what it’s like to work with me as your dating coach.
(Hint: it's fun, exciting, and life-changing, but don't let me bias you in any way.)
Who are Our Typical Clients?
Smart. Successful. Good catches. Frustrated at dating. Confused about the opposite sex. Serious about finding a long-term relationship. Lots of love to give but no one to give it to. Wondering if there's something they can do differently.
The majority of my clients are intelligent career women, 35-55. But I've coached both 23-year-old male virgins and 76-year-old widowers to success. If you are struggling with dating and relationships, and you're serious about getting different results, We can help you.
So let's say we want to work with you. How long should we continue to talk?
As much as I'd like to wave my magic wand and hand you a life partner, coaching is a process. To get the optimum results, we talk weekly for approximately three months. You will see results within the first month.
Really? It works that fast?
It works that fast. Sometimes the difference between despair and success is just one piece of information, one shift in perspective that alters your entire life.
Sounds great. But what kind of information are we talking about? Give me a little taste here...
Fair enough.
Where we start depends entirely on your circumstances:
- If you don't meet enough people in real life, I'll help you attract the highest quality people online and show you how to successfully flirt in "real life".
- If you never find anybody you meet to be desirable, I'll illustrate how you can create more opportunities to connect wherever you go.
- If you don't get second dates with the men you like the most, I'll coach you on understanding how you come across to the opposite sex.
- If you're trying to figure out how to get a guy, I'll show you how it's not actually about making the guy like you…but about being the woman that no man can resist.
- If you're consistently attracted to emotionally unavailable partners, I'll introduce a new decision making process designed to empower you and break your old patterns.
In other words, you may be a unique person but your situation is not unique. In fact, whatever you're going through has been experienced by millions before you.
To make sure you get access to this one-of-a-kind coaching material, choose the option that best describes the kind of personal attention that you desire.
By taking control of your own destiny, uncovering your blind spots, and learning how men think, you will have instant power and control over your love life. Better yet, you’ll have internal peace in knowing that you’re going to make all the right decisions in your future relationships.
To get access to this one-of-a-kind coaching material, choose the option that best describes the kind of personal attention that you desire.

- Re-ignite the passion and keep it burning. At any age you can and should strive to reach new and electrifying heights in your lovemaking, enjoy great sex again and feel like new lovers, unable to keep your hands off each other.
Sexual Coaching Specifically For Women.
Women frequently come to Sexual Coaching on their own because they feel problems are more specifically theirs, though sexual and relationship problems are seldom only one partner’s problems or fault. Situations which bring women to sexual coaching include the inability to reach orgasm with a partner or alone or desiring to have more intense or multiple orgasms and seeking to have G-Spot orgasms. Other women feel they lack the skills to be a successful lover. Relationship conflicts and the lack of communication skills and an inability to express to their partners what their needs and desires are bring others to Sexual Coaching. Having painful sex, cyclic or during menopause or lack of sexual desire is a frequent concern of women.
Most of these problems can be quickly resolved!
For most of these problems three to six sessions will be all that are necessary for resolution. Psychotherapy and insight oriented treatment might take months or years. The difference is that Sexual Coaching is client goal oriented. Coach and client quickly define what goals they hope to achieve and then a specific client program is established to reach that goal in as short a time as possible.

Life Coaching
Positive Psychology
Life coaching is about life balance and support. Many of us begin our journey here. Sometimes, all we need in order to gain the most traction and clarity is to be understood and validated. The wonderful things in life unravel when we are met with joy and meaning. Life coaching is about personal renewal. It's an opened door to perfect balance, healing and self-love; ultimately it's the opened door back to you. When someone needs the support to overcome fears and personal challenges; the smallest word of encouragement or advice can
propel them to unimagined heights.
I use the subject of Positive Psychology as point of reference, to bring about fulfillment and happiness to each individual I serve. Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals to maximize their potential. Life coaching promotes training, education and the dissemination of Positive Psychology.
This field of study was founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within them, and to enhance their experiences of love, work and play. Following the patterns of Positive Psychology, I promote three central concerns:
Positive Emotions
Positive emotions this entails the study of contentment with the past, happiness in the present and hope for the future.
Positive Individual Traits
Positive individual traits consists of the study of the strengths and virtues, such as the capacity for love and work, courage, compassion, resilience, creativity curiosity integrity self-knowledge moderation self-control and wisdom.
Positive Institutions/Organizations
Positive institutions/organizations entail the study of the strengths that foster better communities such as justice responsibility civility parenting nurturing work ethic leadership teamwork purpose and tolerance.
Some of the goals of the study of Positive Psychology for Life Coaching are to edify and to build the habits/character for individuals to flourish in the following areas:
- Workplace/Career
- Relationships
- Personal Achievement
- Stress Management
- Purpose Discovery
- Self-Discovery
- Self-Esteem
- Self-Awareness
Positive psychology is the study of the conditions and processes that contribute to the flourishing or optimal functioning of people, groups, and institutions. Defined in this way, positive psychology has a long history, dating back to William James's writings on what he termed "healthy mindedness" in 1902 to Allport's interest in positive human characteristics in 1958 to Maslow's in 1968 and to Cowan's research on resilience in children and adolescents (eg Cowan 2000).
However, for reasons discussed later, the past half century has seen the study of the psychological aspects of what makes life worth living recede to the background, whereas studies on disorder and damage have taken center stage. The recent positive psychology movement grew out of recognition of this imbalance and a desire to encourage research in neglected areas. -Dr Shelly L Gable
A science of positive subjective experience, positive individual traits, and positive institutions promises to improve quality of life and prevent the pathologies that arise when life is barren and meaningless. The exclusive focus on pathology that has dominated so much of our discipline results in a model of the human being that lacks the positive features that makes life worth living. Hope, wisdom, creativity, future mindedness, courage, spirituality, responsibility and perserverance are ignored or explained as transformations of more authentic negative impulses.

Thought Leadership Coaching
Become a Business Guru
Take your business to the next level! A "magic bullet" does exist!
- Become THE guru in your field
- Learn how to publish articles and even a book!
- Become a recognized public speaker
- Create a "client community" so you can raise your fees
- Use the internet creatively, wisely and effectively!
By becoming a "thought leader" in your target market, your business life will change forever. No more boom-and-bust, no more getting battered by the economy, no more losing out to your competition.
Your "expert's edge" can push your business to the next level and keep you there. As a recognized thoughtleader, you'll blow your competition away, make much more money, keep customers coming back and sending you new ones.
Whenever entrepreneurs of any kind gather to network or chat, the first question of consequence tends to be: “How do you find your customers?” This might also be phrased as “How do people hear about you?” or “How do you market your services?” or “How do you generate leads?”
Typically, shared responses cite “referrals,” “word of mouth” and “networking” as best bets, with “cold calling” and “advertising” as loathsome, but for some a necessary evils. And when new customers do come around, all agree, they may bolt without warning toward a better deal across the street. It’s a frustrating and constant game of catch-up, missed goals, back-to-the-drawing-board… perpetual boom and bust!
For some, even adherence to marketing and sales “best practices” and common wisdom fails to change things for the better. Thus few new, good ideas are offered as talk drifts to other matters as the topic of business development gets shelved… once again.
Yet a magic bullet does exist! It’s called the “expert’s edge,” the principles of which have been packaged within a coaching program. We will provide a comprehensive guide, The Expert’s Edge outlines little-known yet proven techniques that can lift entrepreneurs and their companies to the top of the heap.
Employing five simple but powerful “thoughtleading pillars,” you’ll discover ingenious channels that helped legendary thoughtleaders like Harvey MacKay, Martha Stewart, Stephen Covey, Suze Orman and Tom Peters build empires from humble beginnings, transforming themselves personally into business celebrities and gurus.
You’ll also learn to upgrade your own business’s visibility, notoriety and distinction. You’ll get your prospects and the media to call you rather than you always chasing after them, and you’ll keep your clients and customers coming back to do business with you again and again and again, solidifying customer loyalty.
Unlike any business development strategy you’ve encountered before, The Expert’s Edge will push your firm way beyond your toughest competitors and keep you there. You’ll acquire effective and inexpensive methods for generating more and better leads, for routinely capturing new business, for insuring your professional relationships endure and prosper.
No matter what your specialty, level, experience or personal style, The Expert’s Edge will take you higher, to the enviable status of “go-to authority” that your target market must turn to every time.

Negotiation/Conflict Management Coaching
Strategic
Negotiation happens in everyone’s life and everyone negotiates everyday - even without realizing it. We all use negotiation for getting what we want from others. In business and government, at work or at home, people reach decisions, make deals and resolve disputes through negotiation.
Manager and executives negotiate with people inside and outside their organizations. Executives negotiate the performance and terms of contracts, plan joint ventures and strategic alliances with other companies, and settle international investments. Managers deal with complex business issues, develop strategic planning, and settle disputes through negotiation.
Supervisors, managers and executives negotiate with subordinates to agree on performance goals. Employees negotiate to work together to perform tasks and achieve goals.
Employees deal with mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances, global competition, new technologies, new work systems, and organizational changes that affect labor-management relations and its negotiation processes.
Lawyers close deals and settle lawsuits, local governments deal with discontent constituents, strikes, allies and riots, and countries accord peace, international aid, trade agreements and investments ventures.
Gaining expertise in negotiation and conflict management skills enable people and organizations assess organizational and social concerns, clarify vision and objectives, choose wise courses of action, and assume responsibility for the results.
Negotiation and conflict management skills are strategies to constructively deal with differences and conflicts. The ability to deal with conflict in a constructive manner not only adds value to people and organizations, but also positively affects the growth and development of societies.
We help our clients be more effective negotiators, obtain better deals, improve working relationships, influence others, mediate disputes, avoid costly litigations, defuse crises, build consensus, and embrace innovation and changes.

Executive Coaching
Become A Great Leader
I partner closely with individual leaders and key stakeholders to identify behaviors that are contributing to the leader's and organization's success; as well as behaviors that are limiting their effectiveness.
There has been a paradigm shift in our leadership education; the vital question is; how can you sustain yourself in a highly competetive environment?
And how can you be more driven to excel in your leadership development and professional life?
Managers and executives have to function under intense pressure; yet the amount of developmental assistance and feedback they receive is often inversely proportionate to their level or position in the organization; the higher they rise, the more isolated they become. With the support of a coach, leaders learn the skills to guide themselves toward long-term excellence. Over the course of 6-12 months, leaders seeking development can implement a customized development plan and meet regularly with a coach to review progress toward goals, extract lessons learned and make adjustments that increase the likelihood for success.
The Process Includes:
- Defining values
- Self-image development
- Defining purpose/vision
- Implementation
- Assessing
- Goal setting
- Leadership development
- Executive strategic development
- Management development
- Supervisory development
- Entrepreneurial Leadership
In today's fast-paced and ever-changing work environments, individuals and teams must produce more with fewer resources.

What is Coaching?
Generally speaking, coaching is an opened door to a partnership that helps you to reach your personal and professional goals. Coaching is an action oriented relationship that offers insights, increased self-awareness, focus and accountability.
What is Business Coaching?
Business coaching is the practice of providing positive support and positive feedback while offering occasional advice to an individual or group in order to help them recognize ways in which they can improve the effectiveness of their business. Coaching is an excellent way to attain a certain work behavior that will improve leadership, employee accountability, teamwork, sales, communication, goal setting, strategic planning and more. It can be provided in a number of ways, including one-on-one, group coaching sessions and large scale [seminars]. Many corporations are instilling the practice of 360 degree coaching, which permits employees to utilize their own life or professional experiences in a positive way to create team participation attitudes even with superiors. Professional Business Coaches are often called in when a business is perceived to be performing badly, however many businesses recognize the benefits of business coaching even when the organization is successful. Business coaches often specialize in different practice areas such as executive coaching, corporate coaching and leadership coaching.
Mentoring Vs. Business Coaching
Business coaching is not the same as mentoring. Mentoring involves a developmental relationship between a more experienced "mentor" and a less experienced partner, and typically involves sharing of advice. A business coach can act as a mentor given that he or she has adequate expertise and experience. However, mentoring is not a form of business coaching. A good business coach need not have specific business expertise and experience in the same field as the person receiving the coaching in order to provide quality business coaching services. Business coaching needs to be more structured and formal than mentoring.
The Purpose of Business Coaches
Business coaches often help businesses grow by creating and following a structured, strategic plan to achieve agreed upon goals. Multiple organizations train professionals to offer business coaching to business owners who may not be able to afford large coaching firm prices.
Coaching is not a practice restricted to external experts. Many organizations expect their senior leaders and middle managers to coach their team members toward higher levels of performance, increased job satisfaction, personal growth, and career development. Those that do back up their expectations with training in coaching skills, access to feedback tools, and/or specific coaching behaviors described in their leadership competency models. Few link coaching activities to compensation, however, resulting in less coaching by managers.

Why Do You Need Business Coaching?
If you're a professional thinking about starting a business and assume you can use the same skill set that you have used in an established business to get your business started; you will fail. To be successful in starting and growing a business requires a different skill set than the one that has earned you success in your current profession.
You may feel quite new to business ventures and feel that you need help building a plan, a strategy or even finding a sarting point to build your business.
Maybe you have an existing small business but, you feel as though you need to be inspired again, or you want your business to run itself, earning profits whether you are there to work it or not. We can help you in sales development, marketing, lead generation, profit growth, business infrastructure, time management and team building strategies.
Perhaps you are ready to invest into your people or membership (if you are a nonprofit) or you see yourself as a leader vs a manager and need help develop your vision. The key to this type of success is creating a proces for recruiting, training and retention.
Or
Maybe you want to be the best you can be and desire accountability. You want a person to understand you more than you understand yourself and want to be pushed beyond what you believe you are capable of doing yourself, and you want a friend to help pick you up and help you learn from your mistakes, while being a safety net and provide expert coaching, helping you to solve your problems and turn them into opportunities.
It's important to create an infrastructure that allows for the following:
Shared Vision
Shared Mission
Shared Values
Leveraged Strengths
Grow Capacities
