Celebrating 25 years in business, Conscious Choices marks an exciting new chapter as it extends into Charleston. Founded by Roberta Moore, Conscious Choices and her coaching practice, EQ-i Coach, offer two distinct yet complementary paths. Conscious Choices focuses on therapy, offering a deeper exploration into the experiences and beliefs that shape how individuals think, feel and relate. Coaching, on the other hand, is rooted in helping professionals and leaders build momentum and maintain emotional intelligence.
Moore’s journey began in corporate America, where high expectations and her own low emotional intelligence sparked a turning point. After experiencing firsthand the challenges of emotional self-regulation and communication, she was inspired to study emotional intelligence and ultimately leave accounting to support others in becoming more assertive and aware.
While every person is unique, we all share the same wiring. Under stress, the brain defaults to survival reactions, often limiting growth. Emotional intelligence offers a way forward, allowing individuals to respond clearly rather than react through instinct. Whether in the business world or in everyday relationships, people who embody both empathy and firmness tend to build stronger, more loyal relationships built on both warmth and mutual respect.
Now rooted in Charleston, Moore is inspired by the city’s growth, energy and sense of connection. Through both Conscious Choices and EQ-i Coach, she continues to empower others to grow with intention, confidence and authenticity. With new initiatives like heading a new Women Empowering Women chapter, her book “Emotion at Work: Unleashing the Secret Power of Emotional Intelligence” or a non-scientific AI-powered emotional intelligence test on EQ-i’s website, Moore continues to create new spaces for growth, conversation and meaningful change.
