As a coach, certified in emotional intelligence, I can tell you emotions are always present. When people are faced with a challenge, change, or decision, emotions are most definitely present. But many times I observe clients treat their feelings as an enemy not to be trusted, to be afraid of, or to be at war with.

Hey, I get it! I too am human first and foremost. And, feelings can be overwhelming and confusing at times.

What I have learned is that emotions can be an ally! Our feelings give us important information we can use. They are data that can help us be more purposeful choosing our actions.
