EQ Growth Graphs

The key for success in EQ skill development is the ability to incorporate greater use of the desired EQ skill into the day. The most important elements to development in a skill are accountability and that development is linked to accomplishing a specific goal. To that end we have developed proprietary Emotional Intelligence Growth Graphs ™ for each of the fifteen EQ Skills. Each graph contains three to six strategies to practice for increased use for that specific EQ Skill. The strategies on each graph are based on our combined twenty six years of research and conversations with individuals around the world. While there are suggested strategies on each graph, we highly encourage you, as an EQ-i Certified Practitioner, to modify the strategies based on the private conversations you have with your client. After all, it’s important for you to allow your client to take ownership of their development and practice strategies that most resonate with their personal development and leadership effectiveness.

EQ Growth Graph Benefits to Client:

Skill Improvement: Client lists up to 3 potential positive impacts of increasing the EQ Skill on the back of their graph or in the Development Plan Section of their EQ-i 2.0 Report. This helps validate continued coaching and the benefits to improving the skill.
Accountability: Helps strengthen commitment to develop. Weekly and Bi-weekly tracking.
Repetition: Creating new habits or patterns of reactions to stimuli and managing emotions
Modifiable strategies for each EQ Growth Graph based on self development goals. Or simply use our prefilled strategies based on our experience and research.

EQ Growth Graph Benefits to Coach: EQ-i Certified Practitioners have the following tool available to use for ongoing Coaching/accountability sessions. The EQ Growth Graph is a visual accountability tool that has modified strategies based on the debrief conversation of the Workplace, Leadership or 360 report. Simply update the strategies after your debrief with either 3, 5 or 6 strategies based on your conversation. Track the use of the strategies with your client and update/change the strategies when necessary. They are used for a 6 month period or the time frame can be modified based on your coaching program.

Simple and easy to use tool for your client: Each graph is one page and does not overwhelm clients or inundate them with information.
Personalized: with your Company Logo
15 Graphs: There’s a graph for each Emotional Intelligence Skill. It is recommended that only two skills be worked on during a development period.
Strategies: The wording may be modified to meet your client’s industry or coaching needs.

Suggestions for use:

1 to 1 EQ-i Review Session with continuing Coaching:

We recommend that at the end of your EQ-i review with your client that you give them a few days to digest their review and go through their EQ-i Report in detail to determine which skill or skills (no more than 2) would best assist them in accomplishing the benefits they identified during their review. Once the client has let you know which skills they would like to develop email the graphs for each of the skills to your client and schedule a coaching session. On the next coaching session review the graphs and how they can begin to implement the strategies from the graphs into their week. Possibly identify specific people or situations (personal or professional) where they could immediately use the strategies. The accountability aspect will have you connecting with your client once a week for the first 2 months and then every other week for the remaining 4 months. Remember that depending on the frequency of use of the skill some clients may see progress quicker than others and the 6 months is a recommend reassessment time frame however if they are seeing quick progress it’s possible to have them reassess as early as 3 months (but no sooner).

1 to 1 EQ-i Review Session with no continued coaching (client will use the skills with a different accountability partner):

Have the client identify their 1 or 2 most important benefits/goals of developing their EQ. Ask the client which of the 1 or 2 skills they’d like to develop to assist in accomplishing the benefits/goals and let them know you will email them to the client immediately after the call. Ask if they are willing to share with you who their accountability partner will be. Let the client know you will touch base with them at the 3 & 6 month mark to see how they are progressing and if they are ready for reassessment.

Corporate EQ Workshop:

Ask your client point of contact if they are open to using you for 1 to 1 follow up coaching with their employees (after the EQ workshop) or if they would prefer the employees to have a self-directed development program ( but still using an accountability partner for the graphs). Review the process of using the EQ Growth Graphs in the Workshop and ask all participants to identify their accountability partner (write the name in their EQ-i report or on a sample growth graph if you provide a workbook. Based on prior coordination with your client point of contact either the employees will contact you directly or if prearranged you can give all the graphs to your client point of contact for email distribution to their employees so the point of contact can monitor their progress. Adivse client of potential reassessment in 3-6 months.
