Emotional Intelligence
‘Our emotions need to be as educated as our intellect. It is important to know how to feel, how to respond, and how to let life in so that it can touch you.’ –Jim Rohn

The future is not a place we are going to, it is something we create.  The pathways are not found – they are made.  We need a new map of the old territory.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to make your emotions work for you by using them in ways that produce the results you want.

This program makes you aware of any destructive emotional habits, so that they can be healed. Unless we can catch and challenge them as they are triggered by the events in our lives, they will dictate how we perceive and react. And the more they take over, the more they’ll keep coming back, complicating our relationships, our work, and the most basic ways in which we see ourselves. You will learn how to relate to, and perceive, your emotional state, while not rejecting the emotion itself at the same time.

‘Emotional Intelligence includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and motivation, empathy and social deftness. These are the qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace.’  –Daniel Goleman
