What Participants Say

Immediately after the course, something clearly had just clicked. (It was remarkable) a reformed character.
Clayton Smith, Head of Transformation, Land registry

Had an amazing webinar with Philip today about emotional agility – making the most of change’ Philip really nailed it!...
Anne K, HR Manager, FXTM

Excellent content, should be taken across the business to encourage the right culture and respect for people.
Anglia Farmers

Fun engaging day, has helped me to be a lot more empathetic to others emotions and able to read situations on an emotional level too. Helped me network and connect with lots of new colleagues.

Just wanted to say thank you for the workshop yesterday. Probably the best and most useful session I’ve had in a long time! Certainly opened my eyes further to EQ as I was already aware my emotions were something I need to understand better.

Great session only wished it was longer. It was also the best session I’ve attended.
V.C.McQueen

Very interesting. Lots to think about. I like the idea of how we can stop, slow just to think...life is too rushed.
Afsana.Dad

D Richley

The day was highly enjoyable, very interesting- Was great to listen to other people’s experiences and learn from colleagues, particularly to think about emotions in a different way, to recognise them and understanding what they really mean in yourself and others.

People don’t understand emotions or EI. We often hear ’emotional Intelligence is just being nice to people, right?’ or ‘it’s simply a clever way of describing communication skills’. It’s not the former and so much more than the latter.
Emotions are our internal feedback mechanism. Emotions indicate, motivate and help us facilitate, change so we can thrive. To make the most of change, we need to understand and work with emotions. And sometimes this may mean being nice to others, but at other times it may mean being driven or assertive for instance, rather than simply empathic.
Defining EQ
Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, interpret, manage, and express emotions effectively to support high-quality thinking and behaviour. Often referred to as EQ, it enables individuals to align their values, navigate relationships, and achieve success.
Our unique approach
Our courses and webinars educate, inspire, challenge and teach emotional awareness and management from key perspectives. Unlike most courses taught either by academics or generic training companies which still focus somewhat on the cognitive, we teach EQ holistically. We focus on balancing mind-body as well as cognitive-emotional development techniques.
Who needs this?
Everyone. Our courses enhances the human experience – what we should have learnt at school. We welcome sceptics, many of whom are converted through this course, but we’d prefer you to be open and curious already, ready to see yourself, others, and life differently. Typical attendees range from front line staff to team leaders, managers, directors and leaders.
Course duration
EQ fundamental’s courses run from 90-minutes in length to the 1-day. We also run 2- 4 day Mastery programmes where we combine training, testing and coaching into powerful game-changing facilitations for groups. We pack a lot into these sessions as we’re aware our client’s time is valuable.
On completion, you’ll realise not only how much we cover but how much more there is to learn.
What EQ programme do you need?
We offer a variety of course formats, including:
- 45- 90-minute intensive motivational speaking sessions
- One-day Fundamentals workshops and
- 3- to 4-day EQ masterclass programmes which integrate training, assessments, and coaching into powerful, transformative experiences.
Our sessions are designed to be content-rich, acknowledging the value of our clients’ time. Upon completion, participants often express surprise at both the depth covered and the ongoing learning potential.
Let us help you understand the trade-off between the learning outcomes you want, your budget and time availability.
When you can’t get everyone in the same room, or your business operates far and wide. This is a great option.
These were so successful during Covid times we also run these as bite-size modules building up EQ knowledge over weeks and months.
They’re highly interactive using elements including chat, hands /thumbs-up, group discussions, polls, videos, Q&A and yes a few slides too. We also use pre-course questionnaires and follow-up quizzes to deepen learning. People are often surprised by how engaging and effective our EQ webinars are.
