Training details
Training overview
Background
Emotional Intelligence is just being nice to people, right? Absolutely not. It’s so much more. Emotions are our key internal feedback mechanism. Emotions indicate, & help us facilitate, change. To make the most of change we need to understand & work with this mechanism.
Emotional intelligence is the capacity to recognise, discern between, work with, manage & express emotions appropriately, in yourself & with others, to support the quality of your thinking & behaviours. Sometimes called EQ, it helps us understand what’s most important to us, to navigate our lies effectively to perform well & succeed.
Solution
Our approach is unique. This great introduction course educates, inspires, challenges & teaches emotional awareness & management from different key perspectives. Unlike most which still focus somewhat on the cognitive, we teach EQ holistically. We focus on mind-body as well as cognitive-emotional development techniques.
Live Session Logistics
Audience
Do you have a pulse? Then this course is for you. In truth, sceptics are often converted on this course, but we’d prefer you to be curious already & ready to see yourself, others & life differently.
Course Length
This course now runs for a full 4 hours. We pack a lot into this seminar. On completion you’ll realise not only how much we cover but also how much more there is to learn leaving with lots of food for thought & practical tips. 1 -4 day tailored in-house courses are also available.
Before & After
Embedding change
To get the most from this training be open, use the comprehensive guide as directed after the session & practice the key tools & techniques daily. Combining this with EQ testing & coaching is the ultimate way to make significant changes you’ll feel, & others will notice.
Pre-reading
There is no required pre-reading but you’ll receive a pre-course questionnaire to help you take stock & think about areas you may wish to focus on. Bring this along on the day. But don’t worry you’ll not have to share anything you don’t wish to.
Additional Option: Taking one of our online EQ psychometric assessments will give you a baseline of your EQ attributes which can be developed further with one-2-one coaching & any changes can then easily be monitored going forward. It’s not necessary for the course but will help embed learning.
Want more comprehensive EQ programmes?
In-depth programmes
Whether you’re looking for introduction EQ courses or more comprehensive programmes, we’ve got you covered.
We run tailored in-house EQ master classes & both in-house & private coaching programmes which take this learning deeper & more closely aligned to your needs.
The ultimate change-maker programme combines this training with EQ testing & coaching. These profound leadership training programmes aim to bring out the skills that matter most for particular roles, people & their teams.
We can actually reveal often complex team dynamics & distil them into easily understandable insights & training programmes. EQ programmes leverage the psychometric tests that we use to uncover exactly what’s needed & also prove what’s improved. Again, our approach is unique here, by utilising not one but two profound EQ psychometric assessments you & your team uncover both overall personal, as well as detailed social, attributes.
Online Webinars
Online Webinars
Since the end of March 2020 we are running workshop courses as online webinars only, where attendees sign-in from anywhere in the world using any PC or Mac using Zoom or WebEX. (We look forward to starting-up the face to face workshops when it’s safe to do so).
These great online webinars run for around 90 minutes & can be run as modules to build up knowledge over weeks. They are interactive using chat, hands-up, thumbs-up, group discussion, group polls, slides, videos & Q&A. We also use the pre-course questionnaires & follow-up quizzes. People are often surprised by how engaging & effective the webinars are.
