EQ Coaching to Help Your Young Adults Navigate the Next Big Step
As a parent we can often feel overwhelmed when we consider the challenges our young students as they transition out of highschool. For many of our students, this may be one the most challenging experiences they have faced.
So how can you support your child and get them onto the best foot possible as they take the leap from high school to post secondary education and learn to navigate change effectively in their lives?
Give them the gift of developing their emotional intelligence skills.
“Research strongly shows the link between success in life and emotional intelligence. And for older teens and young adults, this also rings true and makes a difference in their academic and personal lives.”
What is emotional intelligence?
Emotional Intelligence (EI) can be defined as a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an eective and meaningful way.
Why is it important?
Emotional Intelligence is proven to be a key indicator of human performance and development. People higher in EI communicate eff ectively, form strong relationships, and create powerful coping strategies. EI can be measured – more accessibly and less controversially than IQ – and unlike IQ, it can be substantially strengthened and developed.

If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far. ~ Daniel Goleman
