Julie Earns ACC Credential From the International Coach Federation

 

I am proud to announce that I have earned the designation of Associate Certified Coach (ACC) from the International Coach Federation.

What does this mean for you?  

  • It  is a demonstration of my personal commitment to the coaching profession. This is not what I do in my spare time.  This is my life’s work.  I have served clients for many years as a leadership consultant and am excited to serve as a coach for many years to come.
  • You can be assured of confidentiality and safety in our coaching relationship. As a credentialed coach, I am accountable to the standards and ethics of the ICF, a global coaching association.
  • You can have confidence that as a client, you are in the capable hands of someone skilled in the process of coaching. To receive my ACC, I had to graduate from an accredited coaching school, work 1-to-1 with a credentialed mentor coach to deepen my skills, have documented client coaching hours and successfully pass an oral exam with an ICF assessor who rated my skills against 11 coaching competencies.
  • Finally, it means that you will be working with a coach who is continuously developing her knowledge & skills.   To be in good standing with my credential, I must complete a number of continuing education credits over a three-year period.

You have many choices of practitioners who are willing to be your partner in achieving your goals. I hope you will consider those of us who demonstrate our passion for coaching by taking the time and making the effort to excel as professionals in the field.

For more information about what a credentialed coach means for you, please review the ICF video and  “Tips for Hiring a Coach.”

 

Julie Now Certified in the EQ-i and EQ-i 360 Instruments

Emotional intelligence is 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 effective and meaningful way.”

Emotional intelligence (EI) as defined here and applied in the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0) reflects one’s overall wellbeing and ability to succeed in life.

While emotional intelligence isn’t the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is also not a static factor — to the contrary, one’s emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas.  (Visit this definition & more at:  http://ei.mhs.com/AboutEmotionalIntelligence.aspx)

EQ is different from IQ.  Someone commented it is “streets smarts” versus “book smarts.”  If you’re looking to expand your perception of your skills or how others view your emotional and social functioning, contact me.  The EQ-i is a fascinating look at what makes us tick — and how we can succeed at work and in life.
