COACHING INTEREST GROUP MEETING

Join us for the Coaching Interest Group meeting on Thursday, May 23, 2013. This special interest group is for everyone with an interest in coaching. Members of the Network are always welcome to attend the Coaching Group!

Location: Mimi’s Café, 4175 Millenia Blvd., Orlando (near Millenia Mall -- see map below)

The theme of this meeting will be a discussion of Emotional Intelligence.

Many executive coaches find that their work involves helping managers and leaders develop and enhance their proficiencies in emotional intelligence behaviors for high leverage impact. For a long time it was assumed that if you have a high IQ, achieve good grades, go to college, and demonstrate decent technical skills on the job, you were well on your way for personal, career and financial success. Yet we all know smart and clever people who have failed in their personal and professional lives. Research conducted with Harvard MBAs over a 40-year span validates this. Many Harvard MBAs wind up being failures both in their careers and in their personal lives. Until recently we had no language for this conundrum. Findings from success-related research at Yale indicate that Emotional Intelligence (EI) has more to do with success in life than IQ. A study conducted by Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and Working with Emotional Intelligence, compares star performers with average ones in senior leadership positions. The results were astounding. Nearly 90% of the difference in their profiles was attributable to Emotional Intelligence (EI) not to IQ. Only 10% of technical skills and IQ combined determined success.

In this Coach’s SIG Session we will explore the principles of emotional intelligence and how these relate to coaching for performance. Emotional Intelligence Coaching examines the vital role emotions and habits play in performance. Emotional intelligence can help leaders and coaches recognize how attitudes both their own and those of the people they coach prevent individuals from reaching their potential. Replacing these with more useful attitudes, feelings and thoughts can provide a powerful means of improving performance.

For this session I have collected a group of Emotional Intelligent articles that I hope will guide us in our discussions. I don’t expect everyone to read all the articles. I thought is that each person could read one or two articles and be prepared to discuss the main parts of the articles that you read.
