Raise Your Emotional IQ
In this course, you’ll identify your unique set of Personal and Emotional Needs and learn how to use that knowledge to clarify the practical changes you can make to create the life you want.
Figuring out what your core needs are, what boundaries you’ll need to establish and what systems you will need to put in place to fulfil your needs is an extremely powerful exercise.
You, and only you, are responsible for satisfying your needs. However, that involves making requests of others to help with this process. We can meet some needs on our own, but meeting other needs require the assistance of friends and family. Yes, you can appreciate yourself, but it feels so much better if someone else shows their appreciation. Don’t skip the hard part of getting your Needs Satisfaction Team set up. I’ll tell you how to do this in the course.
Before you begin…
- Prepare for your own resistance. At some point you may not want to do this coaching work. That is normal. Be persistent. As with all things, asking people to satisfy your needs gets easier with practice.
- Work with one of our Accredited Life Coaches if you get stuck.
- Be wary of only asking your spouse or romantic partner to satisfy your needs.
- Understand that some people can’t or won’t be able to meet your needs and that is okay, ask someone else.
