Discussion 

The introduction session focuses on the definition and elements of relationship coaching. We will delve into Daniel Goleman's work on Emotional Intelligence and how the EQ model shapes relationship coaching. By the end of this session, you should be able to clearly define the different elements of relationship coaching.

Practice Coaching 

The points to address for today’s one-to-one work are: 

• Emotional Intelligence.
• This can be used in both directions. Throughout the coaching call, help your client tap into their emotional intelligence. 
• Ask powerful questions, such as: 

- When do you notice you are least in control of your emotions?

- What helps you feel in control? 

- How do you currently leverage your emotions in a positive way?
