The Coaching Cubes for Emotional Intelligence

Inside the box is a set of 9 cubes with 42 different icons, 6 emotion words, and 6 questions. The framework is inspired by the following models or studies: Circumplex of Emotions, Basic Emotions, Emotional Intelligence, and Nonviolent Communication.

The cubes show the connection between emotions, body sensations, thoughts, and needs. By knowing what drives certain emotional experiences, we can be better at naming and understanding them for ourselves and for those around us.

Option 1: Create a story

Use either of the storytelling options (COE and Basic Emotions), roll necessary cubes, and tell fiction stories. You can continue the story plot until it reaches the last person in the group. This approach allows everyone to tap into their creative self and make use of their imagination.

Option 2: Express yourself

Use either of the storytelling options (COE and Basic Emotions), roll necessary cubes, and tell a story about a specific life experience. Expound on what emotions are present during that time and reflect on why you reacted a certain way.
