Great coaches move us. They move us through a basic human process — our emotions. The effective coaches establish a deep emotional connection with others called resonance. They are literally, in tune with others around them. They create and nurture these resonant relationships through mindfulness, hope, compassion, and playfulness. In coaching, the combined effect of vision based coaching and resonant relationships with the client results in dramatically more effective coaching experiences. Unfortunately, most coaches are too focused on problems and specific remedial goals and lose their effectiveness over time. Based on decades of his own and colleague’s research including dozens of longitudinal studies as well as hormonal and neuroimaging studies, Professor Richard Boyatzis shares examples of what effective coaching feels like, as well as understanding the neural processes that foster or inhibit it.

In this highly interactive session you will learn:

• A process for developing sustainable improvement on EI, resonant relationship and the central role of compassion in it
• To understand the psycho-physiological role of the Positive Emotional Attractor and the Negative Emotional Attractor
• How coaching with compassion is effective in helping people change in sustainable ways, but coaching for compliance is not
• Understanding the neural activations involved in these two forms of coaching
• How to coach others to develop EI, resonant leadership, and to sustainably change
