Abstract
This paper investigates creating and applying personalised team coaching
methods for master’s degree students, aiming to enhance academic results,
life quality, and intra- and interpersonal connections through emotional
intelligence (EQ) predictors and core values. Participants assessed their
EQ profiles, which were quantitatively analysed alongside core values
identified during team coaching sessions. These values were qualitatively
reviewed and linked to the EQ findings. Multiple regression analysis
assessed the impact of life events, academic stress, and personal stressors
on EQ scales. Results showed personal stressors significantly affected EQ
scales related to social interactions, highlighting the importance of social
support in stress management. Students reported increased selfawareness,
self-regulation, and improved team dynamics from the
coaching sessions. Activities like the card game icebreaker and EQ profile
discussions helped students better understand personal and team values.
Coaching interventions, including mindfulness, empathy, and resilience
training, were introduced to enhance critical aspects of EQ. Aligning EQ
profiles with core values improved performance, contentment, team unity,
and motivation, while misalignments increased stress and reduced
efficacy. This study offers a structured approach for personalised coaching
strategies, addressing emotional competencies and supporting overall
well-being and academic achievement. Future research should expand the
participant base, include objective EQ measures, and evaluate the longterm
effects of these interventions.
