LESSON #01 EASEQuadrant Coaching

There is a Science of Emotional Wealth; a science of perceiving, using, understanding, and managing your emotions. Like arithmetic or calculus, it is an exact science. There are laws that guide the process of getting smart with your emotions. Once mastered, these laws of emotion will guarantee you a place among that select group of people who behave with emotional intelligence and increase your emotional and financial wealth through right behavior.

Through clinical practice, workshops, and seminars over more than 14 years, Dr. Mike Gosling and his wife, Expert Emotional Wealth Counselor Karen Gosling, realized that people who are strong in emotional intelligence lead happier lives. In 2002 Dr. Gosling created EASEQuadrant - a simple doctrine or system of learning which is the essence of the Science of Emotional Wealth - for his Ph.D. research. Details can be found in his book; Emotional Leadership.

EASEQuadrant Coaching helps you build emotional skills for positive, long term, trusting relationships. Our goal is to help you reach your potential through practising the eight emotional leader habits of EASEQuadrant.

EASEQuadrant Coaching brings together more than 30 years of experience in the scientific fields of emotional intelligence (EI) and cognitive-affect-behavior (CBT). The program is a collaborative effort by Dr. Mike & Karen Gosling that integrates theoretical aspects of the ability model of emotional intelligence[1] and cognitive-affect-behavior with our 'hands on' experience in the field. It is a process to get smart with your emotions, end emotional constipation, and build trusting relationships to create the masterful life that you deserve and has always been waiting for you.

Emotional intelligence refers to your ability to recognize the meanings of emotions and their relationships and to reason and problem-solve effectively. It further involves employing emotions to enhance cognitive abilities. Emotional intelligence is the emotional knowledge and skills you are able to develop and nurture to make your relationships work.

Cognitive-affect-behavior is a discipline that can help you understand your behavior. It provides you with an opportunity to change your behaviors through actively participating in reframing cognitions that drive behavioral responses, reactions, feelings, or emotions.

EASEQuadrant Coaching presents a program of eight emotional leader habits:

EASEQuadrant Coaching provides opportunity for emotional intelligence assessment, reporting and application with behavioral transformation using cognitive and physical techniques.
