12 Self-Discoveries
The 12 Self-Discoveries are unique to the Beyond EI (BEI) Embodied Emotional Intelligence methodology at the heart of our coaching and training programs. Each offers clues and insights into who we are and why we do what we do. They are a gateway to discover how our hidden thought patterns influence the decisions we make. They provide a clear path to work with our mental habits, giving us each the possibility to act with greater intentionality and alignment to our values. Within the context of coaching, the 12 Self-discoveries provide you and your clients a framework to spot unhelpful habits of mind and create new, more emotionally intelligent ones.
Course Description:
In this introductory course, you’ll practice using the 12 Self-Discoveries and micro-techniques to embody your own Emotional Intelligence. By recognizing where you have agency relative to your perceptions, interpretation, and responses, you’ll learn:
- How you place, hold, and redirect your attention
- How your social identity and context influence your evolving sense of self, your perceptions and the sense you make of your experience
- How each of these factors directly affect your choices, your outcomes, and the quality of your relationships

Coaching With Cultural Humility & The 12 Self-Discoveries
The 12 Self-Discoveries and Embodied EI practices provide methods that allow coach and client to better understand how perceptions, mental habits, context, and personal history play into our self-perception, self-expression, and how we navigate life.
Participants are introduced to tools and methods to learn about the social influences and self-identities informing a client’s experiences. By surfacing what is most important for the client and helping them to envision their ideal self, they learn methods that constitute effective and positive strategies for their clients’ growth and insight avoiding coaching pitfalls that lead to self-doubt or reinforce systemic and structural oppression.
By recognizing and appreciating the diverse experiences each client brings to the table, we ensure we are placing the client’s agenda at the center, including whether we are the right person to be their coach. In this course, we explore how:
- Unconscious bias and personal triggers influence our automatic thoughts and stories that drive behavior
- Social identity and context shape how we experience and navigate the world
- Embodied Emotional Intelligence helps us act on what we have agency over and how we can become more mindful our biases have in the process
- To cultivate adaptive skills and mindsets, moving from complacency, niceness, or empathetic distress to action-oriented kindness
- To utilize the MDBP & Coaching Intake to orient ourselves to the client’s context, motivators, drivers, and behavioral preferences
- To incorporate the client’s journal entries and reflections to help the client spot habitual patterns and engage in behaviors that support the goals they have for themselves

BEI Masterclass: Embodied EI
The BEI Masterclass is a six-week intensive EI coaching and training program in which you’ll be introduced to the science and practice of Embodied Emotional Intelligence (EI). Whether you’ve been coached before or not, you’ll experience firsthand what it is like to be coached by an EI Coach who draws upon an Embodied EI framework. For those choosing to go through the full Emotional Intelligence Coaching Certification (EICC) program, getting coached is a pre-requisite to learning how to coach others using the same methodology you’ll be trained in.
The coaching experience is designed for you to spot and take action on what you have direct agency over relative to your perceptions (thoughts and emotions) and how you interpret and act on them. The learning design of the program includes weekly, one-on-one coaching sessions, four (90-min.) live, remote Masterclass Sessions, and cohort-based online learning, application, and reflection to reinforce and integrate these insights.
This powerful combination will help you:
- Discover habitual patterns that may be holding you back
- Form new habits that will help you embody your own Emotional Intelligence
- Familiarize yourself with your own Awareness as a means of shifting your perspective
- Develop your Inner Coach, the source of wisdom from within
- Live in alignment with what you value most
- Work with the mental patterns keeping you stuck
- Exercise agency in key moments
The course content draws from what is now known about how perception and emotion work at a brain-body level. We delve into the practical implications of how our design allows us to identify where we have influence in an otherwise mostly unconscious process of simply responding to the cues and people around us. By becoming aware of what is normally hidden, we are invited to lead a more intentional life, enriching and deepening our relationship with ourselves, other people, and the planet.

ICF Competencies Online Course
As part of your training to become an EI coach, you reinforce your knowledge and practice of core coaching competencies as defined by the International Coaching Federations (ICF). While the learning is self-paced, the course work is completed with your cohort such that you can interact with your peers and the learning continues to be in community.
This module can also be completed as a standalone course at any time by those wanting to develop and deepen their knowledge of the ICF competencies.
ICF Competencies Online Course Schedule: May 29 – Aug 11, 2025
Peer Coaching
You’ll be paired up with a fellow EICC peer and an EI Coach over a six-week period. In these sessions, you’ll coach and be coached. You’ll provide and receive feedback from both your coaching partner and your EI Coach as you hone your EI coaching practice. The coaching sessions take place in conjunction with weekly coaching workshops in which you’ll learn how to:
- Coach with Cultural Humility
- Incorporate the 12 Self-Discoveries into your coaching approach
- Integrate daily learning, practice, and reflection using the Embodied EI online learning platform to reinforce habit change and formation
- Implement a journal-based coaching approach to support your clients to uncover subtle patterns they may not be aware of
- You’ll have the opportunity to receive training and certification to use the Motivational Drivers Behavioral Preferences (MDBP) Assessment
In this module the focus is to learn to coach using the Embodied EI online coaching framework where you and your peer coach engage in daily learning, application, and reflection. You’ll practice reading and responding to your partner’s journal entries, from which you learn to draw insights and to inspire powerful coaching questions you can bring to your peer coaching sessions. During Module 4, participants complete the second of three, 1:1 mentoring sessions.
Peer Coaching Schedule: September 22 – October 29, 2025 (Weekly, Peer Coaching Sessions 2, 45-min. Sessions)
Coaching Practicum
During the practicum phase of the certification program, you’ll find 1-2 clients to coach using the EICC methodology you’ve learned throughout the program. Your assigned EI Coach will listen to at least two of your practicum coaching calls and provide you with feedback on your progress and your readiness to graduate. Additionally, you’ll be assigned to a triad practice group for which you’ll meet with a peer and an EI Coach for two hours each week.
Option #1: You may decide to coach two separate clients concurrently or consecutively through the six-week, Embodied EI online program, coaching them for 60 min. each per week.
Option #2: You may choose to coach one person through the twelve-week 12 Self-Discoveries online learning journey, for 60 min. each week.
In addition to coaching, you’ll read and respond to their journal entries on the online learning platform. In Module 5, you’ll complete your third of three, 1:1 mentoring sessions.
For each of your three 1:1 Mentoring sessions, you’ll select one recorded coaching session from your triad, peer, and practicum coaching sessions respectively to submit for evaluation. For each call you submit, you’ll complete a self-evaluation according to ICF standards along with a transcript following ICF guidelines. In order to graduate, at least one coaching session among the three must meet ICF’s ACC competency-level requirements.
* Please note, it may take some participants more than the three 1:1 mentoring sessions to meet ICF ACC standards. A total of three mentoring hours are provided as part of the paid EICC programming. However, for some this may not constitute enough practice, and they may need to arrange for additional coaching practice and mentoring support in order to graduate, the cost of which is not included in the program tuition.
Coaching Practicum Schedule: November 3 – December 15
* Please note that participants deemed not ready to advance to module five and/or to graduate from the practicum will need to practice coaching more clients until they are ready. It is the participant’s responsibility to find additional clients; though, BEI will certainly help and lend support where possible.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE COACHING CERTIFICATION (EICC): A CLOSER LOOK
Emotional intelligence can positively shape our relationships and our outcomes to the extent we embody its wisdom. When we embody our own EI, it’s a differentiator and game changer in every aspect of who we are and how we lead our lives.
Many have been introduced to emotional intelligence exclusively through the lens of the four EI domains and twelve competencies, a behavioral model derived from the world of business, that serves as a roadmap for how leaders can become even better leaders.
Our intent has always been to democratize EI and translate its wisdom into practices everyone can apply to become kinder, calmer, and wiser. To that end, we’ve drawn from many relevant disciplines, such as cognitive behavioral science, neuroscience, mindfulness, and leadership education to create a rich and transformational learning experience for our clients.
In the years since we first designed and began offering EI programs, the neuroscience of emotion has evolved in ways that are changing how we approach the work we do, the details of which you can read more about in our CEO’s recently published book: Beyond Emotional Intelligence: A Guide to Accessing Your Full Potential.
Suffice it to say, BEI’s programs now reflect and capture a more dynamic and Embodied model of emotional intelligence to keep pace with the emerging science and how we can become more skillful with all of our perceptions—as well as our emotions. Hence, the inspiration for our company’s new name: Beyond EI. We each need to do more than simply learn about EI, we need to embody what it means to be emotionally intelligent. We need to BEI!
What good is a map if we never set foot on the journey or worse yet don’t progress on the path once we do?
Changing any habit or behavior can be challenging. That’s why we’ve created a coaching and training approach that anticipates where our clients (and eventually yours) need support and practice. We’ve integrated evidence-based micro-techniques into a Learn, Apply, Reflect model for our clients to practice what they are learning about while they are learning about it.
Each and every aspect of the EICC program has been carefully designed to bring about lasting habit change and you learn how to work with your own design. With the support and guidance of a certified EI Coach, you’ll learn to recognize where you have agency and the various ways in which you can show up more consciously and act with intentionality.
Drawing upon micro-techniques and embodied EI practices, we give coaches a framework to work with their clients to embody their own Emotional Intelligence.
We have crafted a transformational learning journey that brings benefit to you, your clients, and your collective circles of influence—the people, communities, and organizations you serve.
EICC graduates have many opportunities to collaborate and contribute to the work BEI does with individuals and organizations. You can:
- Provide EI Coaching to BEI program participants and clients
- Train to deliver BEI client engagements
- Collaborate at any phase of business development to help develop and consult on projects with BEI’s global portfolio of clients
- Design EI learning programs that blend your EI knowledge and practice along with your area(s) of interest and expertise
- Participate in continued personal development, learning, and connection with BEI’s global and vibrant community of program graduates
We see the role of a coach as that of an advocate and catalyst for the client’s positive transformation. This approach helps clients to:
- Discern what they do and do not have control over within themselves
- Find their personal agency and influence
- Observe the impact their habits of mind have on their mindset and outlook
- Discover/rediscover what is important to them (e.g., their passion, purpose, and values)
- Understand how they may be getting stuck in patterns they may not be consciously aware of
- Learn to spot and change unproductive habits and reinforce conducive ones
- Tap into their Inner Coach during and after the coaching engagement
- Find and sustain their emotional wellbeing, in times of stress and turbulence
- Identify emotions and work with the body’s energy and physical cues
An EI Coach:
- Draws upon Embodied EI listening and communication

- Creates personal safety, establishes trust, and is emotionally available

- Brings a point of view, confirms hunches, and is okay being wrong

- Creates personal safety and is emotionally available

His first book, The Noble School Leader, was released in April Jossey-Bass Publishers.
It is a workbook that makes my EI-based 5-Square coaching approach accessible as a self-guided practice for leaders and especially education leaders. It is also meant to be an intervention in mission-driven sectors to center social-emotional leadership in leadership competency development. My hope is that the book, like 5-Square coaching, can spark hope, reduce suffering, increase equity and inclusion, and help leaders and the people they lead thrive in their work and their lives. There has never been a more crucial time for leaders to cultivate the social-emotional conditions for learning and growth than now. I believe this book will be a unique tool for building the leadership competencies to do just that.

Time Commitment & Investment
For those completing the full certification program, each Module of the EICC program is a pre-requisite to the next.
There are nine months of programming that include online coursework and live, remote sessions, group and 1:1 mentoring sessions, 1:1 and peer coaching, and a practicum in which you will put your EI coaching skills into practice with your own client(s). It is possible to complete all of the certification requirements within the same calendar year as you start the program; however, the exact timeframe is largely dependent on how quickly the various modules and components of the program are completed, including the coaching practicum for which you need to find and coach 1-2 client(s).
The EICC tuition is commensurate with the rigor and level of coaching and training students receive throughout the program. The value from a monetary standpoint and number of educational credit hours participants receive (165 credit hrs.) far exceed the overall cost of tuition.
Participants who purchase the program upfront will receive a substantially discounted price off of their tuition. Should you wish to pay as you go, you can enroll and pay for each module as you go, allowing you to spread out each payment. However, please bear in mind the same level of discounting is not available for this option, unless you commit to completing the entire program upfront and set up a payment plan in advance.
Those who aren’t yet sure whether to pursue the full EICC program can enroll in the modules that are of interest on a standalone basis, provided pre-requisite(s) have been met.
Note: BEI online courses are in English; however, many of our coaches are fluent in various languages. Please inquire if you have specific questions on working with a coach in another language.

What Our Graduates Are Saying
FAQs
EICC Now Offers the Option of A Remote Residency
Based on the feedback we received from those interested in obtaining their EI Coaching Certification, we have the option for a remote residency versus an in-person residency. While we believe there is tremendous value in an in-person format for the residencies, we realize much has changed in people’s personal and work lives as well as financial circumstances since the pandemic. For that reason, we are now offering the residency in a remote, live format. Should there be enough interest in the future for an in-person residency, we are happy to explore offering that option again.
Graduation Requirements
In order to graduate from the EICC program, participants must complete all required program elements and coursework, including watching back any sessions missed and submitting a summary of insights. While all sessions are recorded, please bear in mind, participants must be present for 50% of the live, remote sessions (synchronous) as per ICF guidelines.
You will be approved to complete your final written and oral examination once your assigned EI Coach and 1:1 Mentor have assessed you as ready to graduate, as indicated by you meeting ACC-level coaching standards as set out by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). You will be required to complete, submit, and present your BEI Playbook as part of your final oral exam.
While BEI does not get involved in your ICF application, we do provide you with written confirmation once you’ve successfully completed all elements of the EICC ICF Level 1 accredited coaching certification program.

While we are the same legal entity, we rebranded from Goleman EI to Beyond EI (BEI) in 2021, coinciding with the release of our CEO’s new book, Beyond Emotional Intelligence, which captures the heart of our embodied approach to EI; hence the acronym, BEI. Despite our decision to move away from using the Goleman brand, we remain deeply grateful to Daniel Goleman for his significant contribution to the field of Emotional Intelligence and for allowing our programs a chance to get off the ground through the initial licensing of his brand.
Since that time, much has evolved in the study and practice of EI, starting with our collective understanding of how emotions work at a brain and body level. Our work at BEI has naturally pivoted to keep pace with the latest neuroscience research and include new tools, methods, and practices that allow us to embody what it means to be emotionally intelligent. To that end, the curriculum of the online portion of the EICC program has been updated and refreshed to account for the implications of these insights. Additionally, the ICF portions of the program have been updated to reflect the latest ICF coaching rubric.
Moving from Behavioral-based EI to Embodied EI
In past cohorts, the EICC program was framed through the lens of the Goleman-Boyatzis model of EI, consisting of four domains and 12 competencies. It is a behavior-based competency model that has been around for 25 + years and is a presentation of EI that many are already familiar with, if not fluent in. In fact, it’s not dissimilar from many leadership competency models upon which performance evaluations are often based and from which it was initially researched and inspired.
Behavioral-based leadership models effectively serve as a guide or roadmap and are useful for that reason, but they don’t necessarily provide us with the specific tools, methods, or practices to gain proficiency in each domain or competency, which consist of performing many skills and behaviors well. It turns out describing what it means to be emotionally intelligent isn’t sufficient in and of itself to effect lasting habit or behavior change. However, understanding the importance and impact of becoming more emotionally intelligent can be an impetus to motivate us to undertake the skills and practices to embody them. Only through consistent practice and application of emotional intelligence in varied contexts and situations do we find ourselves in a position to embody its wisdom. We don’t suddenly become emotionally intelligent once and for all, which is why we approach the topic from an embodied or lived standpoint versus a theoretical or largely intellectual basis.
Online EI Learning Journey
BEI refreshed our online curriculum to include new paradigms of practice that take into account the evolving neuroscience research on perception and emotion and how we can focus on what we actually have influence over relative to each. The design accounts for participants’ need to experiment, reflect, and adjust their approach as they apply what they’re learning about in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, we each need to be able to work skillfully not only with our emotions but with all of our perceptions in an integrated, embodied approach.
The new online paths are anchored within the practical application of EI and the wisdom of the 12 Self-Discoveries, which are at the heart of what has always set the EICC coaching model apart from other coaching approaches. So often we fall into the trap of trying to change our outer habits and behaviors without bothering to look at and address our underlying habits of mind that deeply influence our mental outlook and emotions.
