Building Emotional Intelligence

Are you familiar with the concept of emotional intelligence (EQ)? 

Do you know that it is a key component in a person's personal, professional and social life?

​And the good news is that it can be developed and improved through awareness and practice.  

​When we think of successful people we tend to make the assumption that they must be really “smart”, that their I.Q. must be really high. 

​You might be surprised to know that a person’s intelligence actually ranks lower in the characteristics that make them successful than their EQ, which is a more important indicator of achieving overall success in life! 

​Basically, what it comes down to is that we can be the smartest person in the room, but if we are unable to recognize, understand, and effectively manage our emotions, it's not going to matter. 

If we are not able to interact with and relate to others in a positive manner, from a place of self-awareness, no one will ever get the chance to see just how smart we are. 

​Instead, they will likely make their escape ASAP and find someone with whom the interaction is more comfortable.

Signs that indicate that you could benefit from working to improve your level of EQ include:
– often feeling unsure of what you feel, or feeling numb or disconnected
– struggling to manage difficult emotions or feeling completely overwhelmed
- having difficulty motivating yourself
​- experiencing conflict within your relationships

​Some key aspects of emotional intelligence as a framework include:
- building awareness: knowing your emotions and moods and recognizing feeling as it happens 
- managing your emotions (changing your relationship to what you feel, and how you think about it)
- recognizing when your emotional reactions are out of proportion to the current situation
- effectively handling the dynamics involved in relationships and interactions with others

​Healthy Emotional Intelligence is a key factor not only in our personal lives, but it also has a direct impact on the level of success we enjoy in the workplace.  It determines whether  we are able to effectively manage stress or tap in to our emotions in order to use them in productive ways.  The great news is that EQ can be cultivated and strengthened, regardless of a person’s age. 

​With improved EQ, you can better understand your own emotions and those of others, which helps you to communicate effectively, thereby strengthening existing relationships and building healthy new ones.  Definitely a skill worth exploring and developing!

Through coaching, you can work toward developing emotional intelligence.

Who Are You? And Who Do You Want to Be?

After 17 years interacting with a wide range of clients in the fields of mental health, personal development, and coaching, I continue to be amazed by the core and common element that connects us all. Whether a client initially seeks coaching to work on their relationships or their career, their habits or their emotional wellbeing, it always boils down to their relationship with themselves.

When we've been able to switch gears and focus on building self-awareness and increasing personal insight, that's when real change happens in the other areas of their lives.

Working solely on "issues", without diving deeper to understand what's driving your behaviors and dictating your perspective means you are likely to continue struggling.

This experiential Coaching Program blends psychology, brain-science, and elements of spirituality. You'll be guided in uncovering the innate potential within you to open up and experience life fully!

Bobbi Beuree,
Coach + Facilitator

Navigating some significant challenges in my life took me to a deep place where I could learn more about myself, life, and the people and world around me. 

I'm so grateful that, through coaching, I get to share what I've learned with others, while helping them to make sense of their own life experience.

Like so many others, I know what it's like to feel anxious, and hopeless, lost and defeated.  And I also know what it's like to feel energized, hopeful, and inspired!

​I've come to know on a deep level that the latter is our true nature.  But it is often covered up by our limiting beliefs, faulty thinking patterns, unconscious emotional reactions, habits, and more.

​I've spent the past 17 years working with people, helping them to grow in self-awareness, uncover their full potential, and create lives that are full, engaged, and meaningful. 

​It is always so rewarding to watch clients reach powerful new insights around what they are capable of!

Feedback from Coaching Clients

My biggest take-away so far is that my mind has a mind of its own! I'm starting to understand why I have the patterns I do in my life. It's feeling good to practice things that actually make me feel peaceful. (T.O., 52)

I've been to therapy, which helped at the time. But this feels different, like I've made changes that will allow me to handle challenging experiences now and in the future. Instead of feeling "helped" I felt mentored and guided in helping myself. (Charlotte N., 33)

Having the online modules has been so helpful! I feel like I'm learning so much that I can apply directly to what's going on with me. Being able to come to session knowing I can talk it all through makes it a seamless process. I really feel like emotionally, I'm the best I've ever been! (Peter V, 26)

I have learned so much about myself throughout this experience. I didn't realize how critical I was being about myself. The self-compassion exercises and understanding more about my self-talk has helped me understand how my behaviors and beliefs have been holding me back. This has really changed so much for me - thank you! (Sara, 46)
