ABSTRACT

We would like to suggest that a sound basis for developing emotional intelligence to any useful degree includes the key elements of –

Awareness of self   Awareness of others.  

The creative coaching activities that follow will help develop these two ideas. Both elements evolve out of our natural curiosity, the ability (and the tendency) we have to ‘be nosy’, in other words to notice and to question. The suggestions in this book will help refi ne our exploratory nature, which informs the aims and the structure of this book.
