Overview
This 6-week course is an invitation to get better at feeling. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage your own emotions — and respond to others with empathy and presence.
Through weekly sessions, reflection prompts, and optional 1:1 support, this course helps you turn your emotions into allies instead of adversaries. It’s not about fixing — it’s about deepening awareness, building trust in yourself, and connecting more meaningfully with others.
