About the workshop

Why This Workshop?

Emotional intelligence (EQ) isn’t just a leadership skill – it’s a human one. It’s essential for building resilient, emotionally healthy and collaborative teams. This workshop offers more than theory.

Participants feel, express and transform emotions through embodied, creative techniques that strengthen their ability to recognise emotional cues, regulate responses and connect meaningfully with others. Whether your team is navigating pressure, leading through change or simply needs a boost of self-awareness, empathy and relationship-building – this session brings EQ to life.
