i am interested - what now?

If you are interested in engaging with EQ coaching, we start with a free online 30 minute chemistry session. This will give you a feel for the space and me a feel for your need.

Should you wish to commence with EQ coaching after that; there are 3 options you can choose from:

1. We work through the pillars of EQ in a 6 month programme. 1 hour session per month. Each session will include "homework" that aids in reflection of our discussion, as well as the consolidation of principles.

2. We identify specific areas of weakness or concerns that you feel are reoccurring in your life that you want to work through, need support in, and want to gain clarity on. I would also recommend 6 sessions - 1 session/per month or 1 session/week/bi-weekly (this depends on the client)

3. Ad-hoc sessions

me as an EQ coach

Very simply, I love talking about feelings!

Our internal landscapes; like the rolling hills in a Tolkien novel. Secret doors, rooms and burrows with treasure hidden inside. This is being human.

Our ability to see, grab hold and alchemize this treasure however, is often hindered through our experience, our overwhelm and shutting down of all feelings (because it’s safer that way and because feelings can be crazy confusing). I believe that EQ (Emotional Intelligence) is like a key that can open these doors, and treasure chests.  

I think there is a common misconception and belief that emotions are what weaken us; that they are “the chink in the chain”, rendering us vulnerable and ineffective. 

Sure, they definitely can. 

But… 

I propose that this chink is the very thing that allows life in; and our ability to understand, know and examine our emotions have a direct link to our ability to live fully alive!

A drama teacher for 10 years, my lessons would always seem to find a way to touch on the topic of what it means to be human. Stories were shared and hearts were bared. How sacred! 

I have since attained my certification as a life coach. Yay! And to pay homage to my love for feelings; an EQ coach seemed the most fitting area to “specialise” in. 

I genuinely believe that EQ is a super power, and a power that can be learnt (and should be). For the sake of ourselves, those around us, and the world we live in. It is in dire need of strong, resilient and emotionally intelligent humans!
