Our ability to understand and manage our emotions is a key factor for success at work and satisfaction in relationships and life. Building our emotional intelligence, or EQ, makes us more effective communicators, leaders, team members, friends, and family members; and can make us feel more relaxed, responsive and free. Based on a popular course at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, this experiential workshop will offer insights and practices for the healthy and effective use of our heart centers.

Whatever our dominant type or emotional habits, we will come away with increased EQ, and tools for identifying and accessing our emotions and communicating them productively.
