Creating Emotional Literacy
(In Yourself & With Your Clients)
Thursday, October 19 at 8:00 AM Pacific / 11:00 AM Eastern
A live, virtual pay-what-you-want 90-minute course.
When we fully access, name, and experience a range of emotions, we have a richer landscape to navigate as humans, leading to a more conscious way of relating to oneself and others. Emotional literacy brings our clients and us to a fuller, richer, and more connected human experience.
ENROLL NOWEmotions are a powerful access point in coaching.
Live 90-Minute Course
Whether our clients name it or not, they come to our coaching sessions with emotions around the content they bring. That’s why they bring the content they bring. They have feelings about it that reflect the importance of the topic to them and how they relate to it.
Oftentimes, clients aren’t aware of the emotions they bring with them into a coaching session.
And if our clients aren’t aware of their emotions, then there’s a good chance that their emotions are “driving the bus,” and our clients are unintentionally lending their agency to their emotions. And so, they are less conscious of how they relate to their world.
Perhaps the most valuable thing we can do in our role as coaches is to help our clients see what they can’t see about themselves and unlocking the information in their emotions is a central aspect of that.
Join us for a rich and interactive 90-minute course designed to help you gain an understanding of emotional literacy, why it’s essential in coaching, and how to help your clients notice and make meaning of their emotions so they can access more of themselves and relate to their world in an intentional way.
Why Attend This Course?
Emotional literacy may be one of the most underrated skills of any leader. Emotional literacy facilitates our awareness of how we relate to ourselves and others. Leaders with strong emotional literacy connect better with their teammates, make more informed decisions, and express themselves with more clarity and congruity.
Teaching our clients about emotional literacy may make the difference between achieving their goals for our work with them or remaining in the dark about what they are missing.
If we can help give our clients back to themselves by developing their emotional literacy, why wouldn’t we?
In this short course, you’ll learn how to develop emotional literacy for yourself and your clients, and how it impacts one’s ability to relate to themselves and their world. You’ll learn how to connect with and access the powerful information emotions contain and how to live, relate and coach from a place of more awareness and integration.
Here's What You'll Learn
-
What emotional literacy is and why it’s important
-
Why we are as emotionally literate or illiterate as we are (Hint: It’s related to our attachment patterns)
