EQ Masterclass

In-depth EQ Masterclasses typically run from 1 to 5 days in length or can be broken down into half/day modules running close in time over several days or weeks. We’ll tailor the course for you with core elements to EQ learning outlined here;

Self-Awareness

Everything we think, say and do occurs through the filter of our self-awareness;
We cover key areas of emotional awareness & how to build it:

• Exploring emotions –  learning meaning & importance
• Motivating ourselves & others
• How emotions drive behaviours
• Continuous self-calibration & feedback
• Exploring core values – aligning to work and life

Body & Mind

Our bodies & minds are linked more than most realise. We help you understand this & build this connection.

• Body & Mind connection–experiencing & understanding the neuroscience

Most communication has little to do with words – we’ll show you what real communication is;

Building Significant EQ Requires EQ Tests

Ideally, participants take EQ psychometric assessments well before the sessions. Their EQ scores can then be analysed & their profiles created. These can be either presented & worked on during workshops or separately in confidential one-2-one sessions where participants are carefully taken through their results & create a development plan.

Masterclasses can utilise development activities that are either based on core EQ training modules or designed specifically tailored to participant’s personal & group scores & EQ dynamics.  This approach is highly effective at pinpointing needs & developing teams with exactly what they need.
Our comprehensive online EQ assessments look at both overall (EQ-i ® 2.0) & relationship skills (A.R.T.) respectively, something virtually no other EQ consultancy does.

Confidentiality & Sharing

Please note this is a fun, highly engaging & experiential programme, certainly not lectures or lessons in dry theory; far from it.  They are held in a confidential, supportive environment with both personal & group activities.  People do not have to share personal information unless previously agreed & sessions are carefully designed & organised to accommodate sensitivities & needs.  It’s essential we discuss in advance exactly how the workshop will work & take in a detailed understanding of groups & contexts.

Included: Comprehensive branded EQ Guide. This hard-bound workbook is excellent for learning, practice, notes & further development. Engagement & pre-course questionnaires may also be used which build commitment, look at well-being & encourage attendees to buy in, & engage both during & after sessions.
