Emotional Intelligence: Building Self-Awareness and Positive Relationships

Emotions, intrinsic to our humanity, drive action, fuel creativity, and shape our connections with others. Despite historical undervaluation compared to intellectual reasoning, emotions significantly influence judgments, relationships, and career trajectories. This workshop is designed to elevate emotional intelligence (EQ), the ability to discern, evaluate, and effectively engage with personal and others’ emotions.

Participants will focus on essential building blocks for emotional intelligence development, honing skills in self-awareness, emotional management, physiological and behavioural reactions, understanding the link between emotions and values, surmounting communication barriers, building trust, and exercising empathy. Practical applications of these skills in personal and professional contexts are emphasized throughout the workshop.

Delving into advanced practical skills and behaviours, this workshop builds on the groundwork laid in previous sessions. It equips participants with strategies to comprehend, express, and regulate emotions while providing tools for managing emotional interactions with others.

Through a mix of self-reflective exercises, group activities, and discussions, participants create a supportive environment for exploring and enhancing their emotional intelligence. The workshop, blending theory with hands-on application, empowers attendees to navigate the intricate landscape of emotions, fostering personal growth and enriching interpersonal relationships.
