My Why . . .
So, what’s all the fuss about emotional intelligence? Why am I so passionate about it? Let me take you back to 2019 when I coordinated a management growth program. The agenda included all the usual suspects: Finance (yawn), HR (tsk tsk), coaching (okay, getting better), and then—emotional intelligence, or EI for short. At the time, I had read a few articles about EI and thought I understood it. But I had no idea just how transformative fully exploring it would be.
Fast forward to the program itself, and BAM! It hit me like a perfectly timed meme—EI wasn’t just a "nice-to-have" skill. It was life-changing. Over the course of coaching nearly 100 leaders, emotional intelligence emerged as the secret ingredient transforming personal and professional lives—including my own. I witnessed teams bond like never before, marriages strengthen, and even parents discover new ways to connect with their kids. Powerful stuff!
As a mom of two (then teenagers, now adults), that last one hit home on a whole new level. Let’s be real—parenting is basically a 24/7 emotional intelligence boot camp. You need the patience of a saint, empathy that could melt stone, and resilience strong enough to rival a superhero’s cape. The more I explored EI, the more I realized it wasn’t just for the workplace. It’s a survival kit for life—helping you navigate everything from toddler tantrums to life’s biggest curveballs like stress, change, and loss.
About a year ago, I got serious and created a workbook to help translate the emotional intelligence principles I’d learned through facilitation training and coaching into a practical, user-friendly tool.
My goal? To empower anyone to apply these principles with ease and confidence.
Picture this: bite-sized learning bursts designed to help you explore your inner world (without triggering a midlife crisis), all built on the Bar-On EQ 2.0 model. Best of all, it’s a repeatable system—so when life throws you a curveball, you can catch it like a pro.
For me, this work isn’t just a job—it’s a passion. Helping others thrive by strengthening relationships, managing life’s inevitable chaos, and unlocking personal growth they never imagined is what drives me.
Likewise, emotional intelligence isn’t just a skill; it’s your ticket to navigating life’s challenges with grace—and maybe even a little humour.
In this online course, delivered through six 1-hour sessions, you'll enhance your emotional intelligence (EI) using reflective learning and interactive activities. Each week, you'll focus on one of the 15 aspects of EI, gaining tools to support your journey even after the course.
