Being smart isn't enough

Do you want to learn to collaborate better with colleagues, relax faster, make contact with people more easily, communicate more effectively, and to make decisions?

In this learning journey you'll work on the five components of EQ: self-awareness, self-control, self-motivation, empathy, and social skills. At the end of the learning journey, you'll have the tools you need to improve your EQ.

What and how

Do you come to the point much too quickly, or are you uncomfortable with small talk? Are you frequently at a loss for words? Do you ever feel uneasy at parties? Are you unable to say "no," and do you want to change that? These are all situations when it's difficult to keep control of your emotions. And that's exactly what this emotional intelligence training is about. Everyone has emotions, although not everyone is used to showing them. It might be strange or unthinkable for you to show your emotions in your environment. That doesn't mean you don't have them and have to deal with them. So choose the examples and exercises that work for you and are applicable to your own situation.

EQ can most easily be explained using practical examples, of which there are plenty in this learning journey. How do you deal with yours, and other people's emotions? And how do you handle habits? Besides the fact that you become more successful with an increased EQ, you also increase your happiness, empathy, and sympathy towards others. In other words, it's quite beneficial. You can improve your emotional intelligence. The more you practice EQ skills – for example, by consciously making changes – the stronger the connections in your brain will become and the easier it will be. Making changes trains your brain and increases your emotional intelligence.

What will I learn?
Would you like to learn to be a better listener, get less worked up about things, convince people of your viewpoint more easily, feel more comfortable during difficult conversations, finally ask that cute girl (or guy)out on a date, be able to empathize more with others, recognize emotions in other people more easily, or improve your contact with others? These are all goals that previous participants of this emotional intelligence training set for themselves. Just being smart isn't enough. Your emotional intelligence plays a big role in your success. And that's exactly what you will be working on in this learning journey – in a way that best suits you and your situation. The impact of stress and habits will also be discussed, alternating with relaxation exercises. Because wherever you may live in the world, everyone experiences stress sometimes. You'll learn to listen to conscious and subconscious signals that your body gives off. Every emotion takes place in the body and can more or less be felt. So it's logical to pay attention to your body when developing your self-awareness. The impact of your body language will also be discussed in detail.

What will I do?
In this emotional training course, you will work on the five success factors that play a role in developing your EQ: self-awareness, self-control, self-motivation, empathy, and social skills. You will literally experience and understand what these terms mean for you. The role of mindfulness will be emphasized as well. If you are "mindful," then you are consciously present in the situation without judging. You can reinforce a mindful mind with breathing exercises and meditation, among other things. The impact of stress on your body will also be discussed, to help you become more aware of your body and emotions. Consequently, you will be able to further develop your self-awareness.

After this learning journey, you'll be able to:

have more empathy for others and recognize emotions
listen to your body's signals
further develop your EQ
