Hey, it's Miles here from Reach Elite Performance Coaching. In my 20+ years coaching in the health, wellness, and fitness industry, I've learned many things and learned from some of the world's best coaches in their respective fields, from athletic coaching, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and mindset. One area that I found has had a profound difference on the value I deliver to my clients, especially my executive one-to-one clients, is learning and getting certified in emotional intelligence. That has allowed me to understand my clients far better, serve them far better, and help them create lasting change in their relationships, their business, and their health and fitness. Over 20 years in the fitness industry, working with some of the, the biggest brands around in the UK and Europe taught me lots about leadership and management, which led me to go on and start my own gyms, which I later sold. And had I had the skills of emotional intelligence that I've learnt becoming certified myself, I feel that that would have served me better in that career. But I can heartily recommend that anybody get certified with Scott Watson in emotional intelligence. And that will help them with their coaching business and their own understanding of themselves and how they relate to others. What I found is, with my coaching clients now, is it helps them understand how their optimism, their reality testing, their impulse control are all interrelated, and how it can help them with their long-term and short-term results to be more effective, deliver more value, and have better relationships, and be a better leader. And I hope that helps, and I heartily recommend getting certified in emotional intelligence.
