Alternative uses For Executive Coaching/Anger Management

Anger management coaching, based on the four popular domains of emotional intelligence, is being effectively used for marriage and divorce relationship/mediation issues. Anger Management/Executive Coaching was originally developed by Anderson & Anderson™ for use in the assessment and intervention of JCAHO defined “disruptive physicians”.

Individual Executive Coaching/Anger Management clients are beginning to request couple coaching for skill enhancement, in self-awareness, self-control (anger management), social awareness and relationship management. These are the four domains of emotional intelligence and do not denote psychopathology or marital conflict. Mental Health Professionals who discover that their clients are exhibiting deficits in self-control, stress management, empathy or assertive communication are referring these patients for this new non-psychological intervention of Executive Coaching/Anger Management.

Couples seen in dyad Emotional Intelligence Coaching are each evaluated using the same comprehensive instruments that are used with individual coachees. The same client workbooks, DVDs and ancillary skill enhancement material used for individual clients are being successfully used with couples.

Many of these clients are casualties of marriage counseling or psychotherapy. In contrast to counseling or psychotherapy, coaching for emotional intelligence or anger management does not carry the same stigma currently experience by those who are patients being treated for Nervous or Mental Disorders. Rather, it is a skilled-based intervention designed to enhance emotional intelligence.

Quite Frankly George Anderson Is THE Anger Management Guru

What comes to mind when you think of anger management? Some would describe anger management as a method to control one’s emotions. Others, like me, would think of Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler in the motion picture film Anger Management. Until recently, there was no right answer. Anger Management was just a term thrown around, and clearly, no one knew what it was. That was until George Anderson and his team of associates not only defined the term, but set the standard. Since then, Mr. Anderson and his team have never looked back.

Still never heard of them, eh? The Anderson & Anderson program is internationally renowned, and, currently, they are the largest provider of certified Anger Management Facilitator training in the world. George Anderson and his ideals have been featured in the New York Times, the Baltimore Sun News, the Toronto Sun News, ESPN, the Los Angeles Times Magazine, NBC’s Starting Over, the Chicago Tribune, Entertainment Weekly, the London Sunday Times, BBC, and many more. Along with his lifetime of accolades, Mr. Anderson shed his knowledge on Hollywood when he served as a technical consultant on the well-known green lit film, Anger Management. By now I’m sure you are starting to see the big picture. Some of L.A.’s most elite make the drive down Wilshire Boulevard, proving that the Anderson & Anderson business model is one of L.A.’s most untapped resources.

Affiliates of Anderson & Anderson are popping up all over the internet like chicken pox. Don’t believe me? Take a look for yourself. Currently there are over 75 web sites affiliated with the Anderson & Anderson business model and their merchandise. Quietly, Mr. Anderson has become the godfather in a relatively unchartered industry. He has certified trainers mentored personally by himself all over the world, in countries like Argentina and London. Over time the business mogul of 12301 Wilshire Boulevard has set the bar as the most prominent anger management provider of the world, quite frankly in an industry that Mr. Anderson defined himself. So maybe next time when you think anger management, you will think Anderson & Anderson.

Anger Management is Emotional Intelligence in Practice

Since its introduction by Daniel Goleman and others, emotional intelligence has been used primarily in Fortune 500 Corporations to improve performance, increase sales and enhance leadership skills.

Joshua Freedman and his organization, Six Seconds, expanded the reach of emotional intelligence into grade schools and small organizations. In addition, Freedman began training and certifying providers worldwide to provide EI Assessments and Intervention.

Anger management and Executive Coaching/Anger Management for "disruptive physicians" is now one of the largest practice sources for skill enhancement in emotional intelligence worldwide. Emotional intelligence is a powerful intervention for motivated participants. Unfortunately, there are few resources for interested individuals to take advantage of this life changing resource. Ideally, EI should be made available to everyone just like counseling or psychotherapy. The purpose is not to treat emotional problems but rather to enhance skills in the wide range of areas that are the domain of emotional intelligence.

Anger management uses non-psychiatric assessments designed to determine the participants' level of functioning in recognizing and managing anger and stress, as well as increasing competence in assertive communication and empathy/emotional intelligence.

Goleman’s four domains of emotional intelligence are all key components of the anger management model described above. The four domains of EQ are: self-awareness, self-control, social-awareness and relationship management. Skills in these four domains are enhanced by client workbooks, exercises, quizzes, role play, as well ad DVDs, CDs and other ancillary training material.

Organizational Anger Management is now being used in business and industry. Human Resource Managers have surpassed Courts in referring "disruptive" employees to anger management classes. Prisons, Jails, Schools, as well as Offices of Judicial Affairs, are referring participants to anger management classes which use emotional intelligence as its core components. In summary, emotional intelligence-based anger management programs are rapidly becoming the biggest providers of EI skill enhancement worldwide.

Social Awareness and Relationship Management Are Antidotes to Unhealthy Anger

The four domains of emotional intelligence are self-awareness and self-control, social awareness and relationship management. These skill sets are the keys to competence in emotional intelligence. Most credible anger management programs are based on emotional intelligence.

These competencies determine how we handle relationships.
  • Social awareness: Awareness of others' feelings needs and concerns.
  • Understanding Others: Sensing others' feelings and perspectives and taking an active interest in their concerns.
  • Developing others: Sensing others' development needs and encouraging their abilities.
  • Service orientation: Anticipating, recognizing and meeting customers' needs.
  • Leveraging diversity: Cultivating opportunities through different kinds of people.
  • Political awareness: Reading a group's emotional currents and power relationships.
  • Relationship Management: Adeptness at inducing desirable responses in others.
  • Communication: Listening openly and sending convincing messages.
  • Conflict Management: Negotiating and resolving disagreements.
  • Change Catalyst: Initiating or managing change.
  • Building bonds: Nurturing instrumental relationships.
  • Collaboration and cooperation: Working with others towards shared goals.
  • Team capabilities: Creating group synergy in pursuing collective goals.
  • Influence: Wielding effective tactics for persuasion.
  • Leadership: Inspiring and guiding individuals and groups.

For motivated participants, all of the above skills can be learned and enhanced with practice. For Executive Coaching/Anger Management Coachees, enhancement techniques are offered in all of these areas.
