Emotional Intelligence

The goal of this all-day workshop is to appreciate the basis for emotions and how, together with our cognitive skills, we can direct them towards a positive effect.

Topics include:

• understanding the part emotions play in all of us and what impacts and affects our emotions
• benefits of increased emotional intelligence, including the ability to recognise and accept all feelings/emotions, as well as the ability to self-soothe
• how to identify, understand, use and manage emotions
• ability to find a balance between expression of emotion and control and new ways of expressing anger
• skills to reduce emotional suffering – familial, personal and workplace
• increased capacity for empathy as opposed to mere sympathy
• increased sense of personal power, effective in all areas of our lives.

The recognition and acceptance of emotions ensures deeper intimacy in personal relationships and more effective relationships in the wider community. Emotional Intelligence helps achieve a deeper happiness and sense of fulfillment in all aspects of life.
