The EQ-i 2.0 Model

The EQ-i 2.0 model (see The EQ-i 2.0 Framework) is an easy way to visually describe what emotional intelligence is and which skill areas contribute to your overall emotional effectiveness. Coaches can leverage the EQ-i 2.0 model in several ways:

• To introduce the concept of emotional intelligence to clients.

• To review the components of emotional intelligence before providing feedback on the client’s assessment.
• To highlight areas where the client will focus their development after providing feedback.
• To clarify any questions clients have about what emotional intelligence is and is not.
