Career Coaching

for Teens

I coach school and university leavers to help them choose their career direction as well as prepare themselves for the transition from school to studying and/or working. The process of self-discovery that underpins my EQ-focused career assessment programme ensures that when they finally decide on their career path, it is an authentic decision based on who they are, their core motivations, values, vision and strengths. The developmental component equips them for personal success by building the emotional, cognitive, behavioural and social skills they need to get them ready for the stress, demands and expectations of studying or the workplace.

WHAT IS EQ? 

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is our ability to understand and manage our emotions positively to relieve stress, communicate effectively, manage conflict, empathise with others and overcome challenges.
EQ is the measurement of our emotional intelligence (EI), just as IQ is the measurement of our cognitive intelligence. We need both intelligences in order to achieve our goals, but while we can´t change our IQ, we can boost our EQ, and with it, our chances of happiness and success.

WHY IS EI IMPORTANT?

Educational and psychological studies have shown that academic performance is facilitated by the ability to set personal goals and be sufficiently optimistic and self-motivated to accomplish them.

 In order to succeed kids need:

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE to manage themselves, relationships and their external environment.

RESILIENCE to find inner strength and skills to cope with problems and recover from setbacks.

GRIT to tackle problems head-on and not give up.

SENSE MAKING to understand and learn from past experiences, to find purpose in life, and set goals for the future.

Emotionally intelligent people work well in teams, are self-starting and self-motivating, and can collaborate to find solutions. Which is why companies worldwide now look for EI as a soft-skill strength in interviews.
