What is emotional intelligence?
At its most basic level, emotional intelligence (EI) is about understanding how you and others are feeling, and why. Emotional intelligence is considered to be more important than IQ in achieving sustainable success.
Our course will help you to become more self-aware of the impact that daily life – relationships, children, work, friends and everything in between – can have on you, as well as the impact that you, in turn, can have on those around you.
How does this emotional intelligence course help?
Our course looks to give you the practical ability to manage your emotions ‘in real time’, thinking about the consequences of what you do, and managing those emotions so that you’re consistently happier and healthier.
As an emotional intelligence life coach we teach you how to be more assertive: how to ask for what you want in life. We look to develop your social and emotional intelligence, giving you an energy and a sense of purpose that makes an instantly positive first impression.
This emotional intelligence course is designed primarily for adults, but we do work with young people and children as young as 9 or 10 years old. Regardless of age, we can find ourselves in situations where we don’t have overt power or agency; our response can often end up presenting as passive-aggressive behaviour or ‘acting out’. Giving yourself the ability instead to reflect on how you’re feeling, and the confidence to articulate what you want, is a real gift.
“Emotional intelligence is a hugely valuable life skill that many adults don’t have: we think it gets you further in life than almost any other. Ultimately, emotional intelligence helps generate more of the opportunities that you need in life. Part of that is about being able to tap into what’s important to other people, and being sensitive to it.”
