EQ Coaching
Your internal map.
Emotional intelligence coaching grounded in the EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360, bringing data and structure to the inner work that changes how you lead. It's the evidence-based foundation behind thousands of hours of Maryam's coaching work.
The leadership skill underneath the skills.
What EQ is
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and work effectively with emotion, your own and others', in real time. It can be assessed, developed, and strengthened.
Why it matters for leaders
Leadership doesn't happen through strategy alone. It happens through relationships, decisions, and conversations, and through how you respond when the pressure is real. The higher you lead, the more your impact depends not only on what you know, but on how you show up.
Why now
As technical capability becomes increasingly augmented by technology, distinctly human capabilities matter more: self-awareness, judgment, empathy, adaptability, communication, and trust. Emotional intelligence sits underneath all of them.
Emotional intelligence, made visible.
EQ can feel abstract. In practice, it shows up across four interconnected areas.
Self-awareness
Seeing your own patterns clearly, the reactions, triggers, assumptions, and stories that can run on autopilot. Awareness creates the possibility of choice.
Self-management
Working with what you notice instead of being driven by it. Staying steady, making thoughtful decisions, and choosing your response under pressure.
Social awareness
Reading people and situations with greater accuracy. Listening for what is said, and what isn't, and understanding perspectives beyond your own.
Relationship management
Turning awareness into how you lead: building trust, navigating difficult conversations, managing conflict, and creating the conditions for people to do their best work.
EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360
Both provide structured insight across key dimensions of emotional intelligence. The difference is perspective.
EQ-i 2.0 · Self-report
Your view of your own emotional intelligence across the EQ competencies. A starting point for understanding strengths, patterns, and opportunities for development.
EQ 360 · Multi-rater
A broader view of how your emotional intelligence is experienced by others, incorporating feedback from managers, peers, and direct reports alongside your own assessment. The gaps between intention, self-perception, and impact can become some of the richest material for development.
One-to-one or with your team
One framework. Two ways to work.
Individual EQ coaching takes the work deep: assessment, reflection, experimentation, and development over time.
Corporate EQ workshops bring this framework into a team or leadership cohort, building a shared language for self-awareness, communication, and collaboration across the group.
Maryam's EQ credentials

Certified to administer and debrief the EQ 360 multi-rater emotional intelligence assessment.
Insight you can see. Development you can track.
The engagement begins by establishing a clear EQ baseline. Coaching then turns that insight into focused development over time, with reassessment at the end providing a concrete point of comparison: not just a sense that something has shifted, but evidence of where it has.
