Emotional Intelligence Coaching for Leaders
Emotional intelligence skills are critical for building relationships, managing teams, resolving conflict, solving problems, leading effectively, and building resilience. This coaching package starts off with the emotional intelligence (EQ) assessment EQi 2.0. Upon completion of the assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive report and one-hour debrief describing how your EQ competencies work together for effectiveness. Following the debrief session, you’ll receive an additional coaching session targeting the emotional intelligence skill you’d most like to develop for future success.

Kirsten J.
Fmr Global Head of Leadership Dev at Goldman Sachs & D.E. Shaw | Yale MBA
Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile! I'm a certified executive coach with a background in executive and leadership development, supporting professionals in financial services, healthcare, technology, and education firms. Prior to joining Leland's coaching platform, I was the Global Head of Leadership and Management Development and an executive coach at D.E. Shaw & Co. and before that, headed up leadership development and coached vice presidents and managing directors at Goldman Sachs. As an executive coach, I've worked with professional of all levels, from early career to C-Suite, helping them to get from where they are to where they want to be. Examples of the types of coaching engagements I've had include helping an operations leader transition successfully into a more senior role; supporting a technology manager to improve their delegation and feedback skills; helping junior traders to build emotional awareness and drive idea velocity to make more profitable trading decisions; working with high-performing mid-level managers who were feeling burned out and needed support with time management, stress management, and delegation skills; helping senior leaders to build their skills in managing larger teams; helping experienced professionals to navigate career choices that led them to either take on a new role in their existing organization or move to a new organization; and working with high-performers to build their emotional intelligence skills. Past clients have described me as results-oriented, insightful, and approachable. In addition to working as an executive coach, I have 20+ years of experience leading global teams of 10 to 100+ people and am able to leverage those experiences when supporting other managers and leaders to navigate through periods of growth or change. I received my MBA from Yale and hold an MA in Education from Columbia University and a BA from University of Virginia. I have an executive coaching certification from Columbia University and am also certified in a number of personality assessments that I sometimes find beneficial for clients to receive as part of a coaching engagement. As a coach, I'm happy to provide "spot coaching" across a couple of sessions, where we are targeting a specific skill you'd like to work on (e.g., delegating effectively, giving feedback) or work with you on a weekly or biweekly basis to focus on broader and bigger goals. Feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to explore how we can work together to help you to reach your goals!
