Pastor Bill Hoffman - Founder, Pastor Emeritus

Bill Hoffman is the founder of Emotional Intelligence Solutions. Having an extensive background in ministry work with the homeless population of New York City and Elizabeth New Jersey, Bill continued his education throughout his career. While maintaining a leadership role in New York City Relief, a mobile outreach to the poor and homeless in New York City, he was credentialed as a Clinical Pastoral Counselor through the National Christian Counselors Association. He also was a staff pastor at Calvary Tabernacle Church in Cranford New Jersey, being the Pastoral Care Director, Missions Pastor, Hospital Ministry Director, and Stephens Ministry Director.

While his educational endeavors qualified him to counsel in many settings and positions, it was his own struggles in marriage and raising children that sent him to receive help himself… help so profoundly effective that his educational track led him to the study of Temperament. This knowledge and implementation of this understanding in his own life ultimately led to the formation of Kairos Life counseling, whichyears later birthed Emotional Intelligence Solutions.

Over the years Bill developed a comprehensive, integrated approach to counseling that includes temperament analysis, cognitive behavioral understanding, inner healing, relationship and marriage counseling and more. Overarching these specific areas is helping individuals become the most authentic “version” of themselves. This “process” helps equip the individual in life, relationships, marriage, business and leadership.

Bill helped recruit and train counselors in the EIS approach known as “The Process”, reflected in his book titled “The Process, A Proven Strategy for Creating Emotionally Healthy Leadership in Relationships, Business and in Life”, published in 2020.

The EIS team of counselors are all well equipped and certified to help people navigate their life journey to prosper as individuals, couples, in their career, business; literally in all areas of their life journey.

As Pastor Bill enters his retirement in 2023, his work carries on, led by innovative leaders, Justin and Amanda McNeil. Their youthful, yet seasoned leadership ability, style and capacity,help poise EIS for its next season of helping people reach their full potential in all areas of life.
