Introduction:

Understand your emotions. Strengthen your relationships. Respond to life with more clarity and confidence.

What if the skills that shape your wellbeing, resilience and success weren’t just about IQ — but about how you understand yourself and relate to others? Emotional Intelligence (EQ), popularised by psychologist Daniel Goleman, offers a powerful and practical framework for navigating everyday life with greater awareness, empathy and emotional balance.

This engaging, experiential taster invites you into a supportive space to explore the real drivers behind thoughts, reactions and behaviours. Blending accessible neuroscience with self-discovery and practical tools, you’ll learn how emotions work, why we sometimes react before we think, and how to shift from automatic responses to thoughtful, intentional choices. You’ll gain insight into how the brain — particularly the amygdala — can trigger emotional reactions, and how awareness and cognition can help regulate impulses and support more grounded decision-making.

Through guided exercises, reflection and practical worksheets, you’ll begin building skills in emotional awareness, self-regulation, resilience and empathy. You’ll explore your personal values to strengthen motivation and persistence, and discover constructive ways to navigate challenges, setbacks and everyday stressors.

In this course you will:

  • Discover how emotions shape behaviour, relationships and decision-making

  • Build self-awareness and recognise emotional patterns and triggers

  • Learn practical tools to regulate emotional responses and strengthen self-control

  • Explore motivation through personal values and purpose

  • Develop resilience and respond more constructively to setbacks

  • Cultivate empathy and improve communication and social connection

This is a hands-on, applied learning experience designed to give you tools you can use immediately — at home, at work and in your relationships. By the end of the course, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to deepen your emotional awareness, strengthen your resilience, and enhance your relationship with yourself and others.

Come curious — leave with insight, practical skills and a renewed sense of connection to how you think, feel and engage with the world.
