Coaching Model: “EI²RO (©Naash Consulting) Elevate Your Emotional Intelligence, Resilience, and Ownership for Organisational Excellence”

The EI²RO coaching model is designed to help individuals and organizations enhance their Emotional Intelligence (EI), develop resilience, take ownership of their actions and emotions, and ultimately, foster a culture of continuous improvement. By combining mindfulness practices with emotional intelligence and ownership, the coaching model aims to empower individuals to achieve personal growth and contribute to their organization’s productivity and performance.

The EI²RO Coaching Model

Assessment:

• Start by assessing the client’s current level of emotional intelligence. Utilize assessments such as the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal (Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves) or the Emotional Competence Inventory (Richard Boyatzis and Daniel Goleman).
• Evaluate the client’s current level of resilience and their capacity to take ownership of their emotions and actions.

Setting Clear Goals:

• Identify the specific areas where the client needs improvement and growth.
• Work with the client to establish clear and measurable goals for enhancing emotional intelligence, resilience, and ownership.
• Ensure that these goals are aligned with both personal development and organizational objectives.

Key Components of the EI²RO Coaching Model:

Mindfulness:

• Introduce mindfulness practices to the client to help them increase self-awareness, self-regulation, and overall emotional well-being.
• Provide guidance on incorporating mindfulness techniques into daily routines.

Skill Development:
