Skills for Commercial Success

The tide is turning in the terms of the skills that many organisations are looking for in their managers, executives and leaders.

Whilst education, experience, skills, and training (IQ) are still high on the list many organisations are now realising that 'Emotional Competencies' (EQ) are equally, if not more important, for effective performance. Coaching is the single most powerful way to train managers and leaders in these fundamental competencies proven in research to impact high performance.

The Role of Emotional Competency

Daniel Goleman, the pioneering author of 'Emotional Intelligence', researched competency models from 181 different positions drawn from 121 companies and discovered that 67 percent of the competencies deemed essential for effective performance were "emotional" competencies. In a later study by the Hay Group, emotional competencies were once again found to be twice as important in contributing to excellence as pure intellect and expertise. As a result of these and other pioneering research Goleman extracted 25 key emotional intelligence competencies that are proven in research to be most important to job performance.

Emotional competencies are best impacted and honed through experiential training. They are by definition not "analytical" and therefore can not be taught through traditional didactic instruction methods. Rigorous experiential training to develop emotional intelligence competencies in the context of coach training was pioneered by CTI (Coaches Training Institute) 11 years ago. Its Co-Active Coaching model is particularly suited for use by managers and leaders in organisations interested in empowering employee initiative and creativity. Of the 25 Emotional Intelligence Competencies identified by Daniel Goleman, 17 are either highly or moderately impacted by CTI's in- depth experiential coach training.

Co-Active Coaches trained by CTI have worked effectively with a broad variety of organisations - from large corporations to small businesses. Join the host of companies who have already experienced the impact that working with Co-Active Coaches can have on a corporate environment - the list is vast and includes: IBM, Marriott International, Herman Miller, Boeing, The Walt Disney Company, British Telecom, and Prudential.
