CCEUs- 2.5 Core, .5 RD

Growing and developing is a major driving force in our quest to help others, make a difference and contribute to a better organization and society. Coaches help others establish a deep emotional connection called resonance, whether teacher-student, professor-student, doctor-patient, nurse-patient, coach-client, mentor-protégé, manager-subordinate, and likely parent-child and spouse/partner to spouse/partner. They are, literally, in tune with clients. Their own levels of emotional intelligence allows them to create and nurture these resonant relationships. They use their EI on the path through mindfulness, hope, compassion, and playfulness.

These experiences of mindfulness, hope, compassion, and playfulness are essential to the renewal of the human organism at the neurological, hormonal, emotional, and behavioral levels. Based on decades of research into emotional intelligence competencies and longitudinal studies in their development, Professor Richard Boyatzis will lead the audience through examples of how coaching with compassion (i.e., coaching a person to the Positive Emotional Attractors (PEA), their vision and values) is key to leadership development and more resonant relationships. He will describe his own fMRI studies on coaching to the Positive Emotional Attractor (PEA) versus the Negative Emotional Attractor (NEA), as well as recent doctor-patient studies showing that arousal of the PEA increased treatment adherence for Type II Diabetics.  He will explain why this is central to neuro-endocrine renewal in the human body (which is the only antidote to the ravages of chronic stress).

Among others, this session will address: 

• A process for developing sustainable improvement on EI, resonant relationships and the central role of compassion in it.
• The psycho-physiological role of the Positive Emotional Attractor and the Negative Emotional Attractor in motivating change or encouraging the status quo regression. 
• How coaching with compassion is effective in helping people change in sustainable ways, but coaching for compliance is not. And why it is crucial to the sustainability of the coach as well.
• The neural activations involved in these two forms of coaching and why one prepares a person to consider change and learning while the other closes their minds.
• How to coach others to develop EI, resonant leadership, and to sustainably change.

Join the Coaching Study

As we continue to bring our attention to demonstrating the ways in which professional coaching is impactful, both in a corporate and individual setting, we are excited about an opportunity to work with Dr. Richard Boyatzis and his research team at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in a ground breaking, first of its kind study of the Competencies of Effective Coaches.

We encourage you to share your perspectives and be included in this important research. To have your voice included, Dr. Boyatzis is requesting the following:

●      Approximately an hour of your time to complete a set of questionnaires

●      The names of five to eight peers that can make observations about the frequency of your behavior expressing various competencies

●      The names of five to eight people with whom you are starting or about to begin a coaching relationship (note that even 1 or 2 potential new clients is sufficient). Unfortunately, existing clients you are currently working with will not qualify to participate.

Your participation is invaluable and, if you are able to share your insights, you can sign up and complete the questionnaires using the following link:
