Emotional Intelligence Course

Background

I often hear it said  ’emotional Intelligence is just being nice to people, right?’ or ‘it’s simply a clever way of saying 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 it may mean being nice to others, but at other times it may mean being driven or assertive for instance, rather than simply empathic.

EQ defined

Emotional intelligence is the capacity to recognise, discern between, work with, manage and express emotions appropriately, to support the quality of your thinking and behaviours.  Sometimes called EQ, it helps us understand what’s most important to us, in order to navigate our relationships and lives effectively to perform well and succeed.

Our approach

Our approach is unique.  Our courses and webinars educate, inspire, challenge and teach emotional awareness and management from several different perspectives. Unlike most courses taught 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?

If you have a pulse, then this is for you. The course enhances the human experience – what we should have learnt at school. We welcome sceptics, many of whom are converted on 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 length

EQ training courses run from 90-minutes in length to the 1-day Fundamentals workshops. We also run 3- 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 also how much more there is to learn.

What EQ programme do you need?

We design and run half to one-day EQ introduction courses and webinars through to more comprehensive masterclass programmes. Your decision on what programme you need will be based on things like time available, budget and your experience and perceptions of what can be achieved and what is actually needed. Let us help you understand how to mold the ideal programme by bringing together our shared insights and experiences.

Masterclasses are change-maker programmes combining tailored elements based in EQ testing, analysis, EQ fundamental’s & EQ based executive coaching.
These make for the most profound leadership training programmes that bring out leadership skills that matter most for each person, their team or particular roles or culture.

Run in-house these EQ masterclasses. may include remote elements such as webinars (only if specifically required by client) and homeworking.
The power behind these programmes is the sophisticated nature of EQ based executive coaching that deepens and embeds learning.

For teams and culture development, we can actually reveal complex team dynamics and distil them into easily understandable insights & training programme elements.
EQ programmes therefore leverage the psychometric tests that we use to uncover exactly what’s needed and also prove what’s improved.  Again, our approach is unique here, by utilising not one but two profound EQ psychometric assessments you and your team uncover both overall personal, as well as detailed social, attributes.

Online EQ webinars

We run online EQ webinars, both public courses and in-house for organisations, where attendees sign in from anywhere using Zoom or Teams.

These great online webinars were so successful during covid we continue to run them as modules building up EQ knowledge over weeks and months. They are highly interactive using chat, hands /thumbs-up, group discussions, polls, slides, videos and Q&A. We also use pre-course questionnaires and follow-up quizzes. People are often surprised by how engaging and effective these webinars are.

Ask us how online EQ webinars can work for you.

Details of our upcoming public courses will be shown on this page if planned.  Most of our training courses are in-house now, so if no public ones are shown currently please call us for our latest schedule or ask how we can bring EQ in-house for you.
