Steve Pinney Jr’s Coaching Certifications, Explained
Steve Pinney Jr holds four coaching and assessment certifications, earned between 2025 and 2026. Here is what each one is, and what it lets him do in a session.
Certified Professional Life Coach
Certified Life Coach Institute, June 2025. The core coaching credential: structure, ethics and the discipline of asking rather than telling.
EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360
Multi-Health Systems, October 2025. EQ-i 2.0 measures emotional intelligence across areas such as self-awareness, stress tolerance and decision making. EQ 360 adds the view from the people around you, which is often the more useful half.
Introduction to Behavioral Analysis
PeopleKeys, December 2025. The DISC side of the work: how a person naturally approaches people, problems, pace and pressure, and how two people with different styles end up misreading each other.
Positive Psychology Coach
Efficient Coach, January 2026. Positive psychology is the research side of strengths: what people already do well, and how to build on it rather than only repairing what is broken.
Alongside the paperwork
The certificates are recent. The practice behind them is not: Steve Pinney Jr has been teaching meditation for over a decade and has been ordained as a monk six times.
