When people feel lost or stuck, emotions can either keep them wandering — or point the way forward. Emotional intelligence gives coaches and leaders the tools to turn challenge into clarity.

Coaching is about helping people move from challenge to change. In this session, you’ll learn how to use emotional intelligence to guide others in acknowledging "where they are," setting a clear vision, and building a step-by-step path from the present toward their long-term goals. We’ll use Six Seconds’ Thoughts–Feelings–Actions framework to build a practical map for navigating change. This session is for everyone interested in a coach-approach to supporting others — whether you’re an experienced coach, a manager-as-coach, or just getting started. Participants will also receive a free code to try our new online app for vision mapping.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Understand why acknowledging challenges is essential for building motivation and trust.

✅ Learn how to use Thoughts–Feelings–Actions to help clients take practical next steps.

✅ Explore and test a digital vision-mapping app you can use for your own growth or with clients.
