As part of our newly redeveloped Signature Series Courses, The Emotional Intelligence (EQ) training course teaches you how to develop your emotional intelligence and your ability to manage your responses based on your objective assessment of different personalities and situations.

After completing this one-day course, you will have learned: what is EQ, the four core skills required to practice EQ (self-management, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation), how to use empathy, how to interpret, manage and articulate your emotions using the right language, the benefits of having a high EQ both at home and in the workplace and much more. You will complete a personality profile which will help you understand the potential differences among the various personality types and where you currently fit.

You will learn about your own personality type as well as other personality types and how to engage others in an entirely new way that provides a path to better communication and improved emotional intelligence.

This newly found emotional "awareness" allows you to communicate more effectively, succeed at work and achieve your career and personal goals in a shorter amount of time.


This is a practical class that is suitable for all audiences, and provides participants with tools they can apply on-the-job (and in other contexts) the very next day.


There are no prerequisites for this course.

Healthy Emotions + Clear Thinking + Appropriate Action = High EQ

Emotional intelligence is a skill. And like any other skill, you can get better at it with training and practice. It allows you to read the personality style of individuals and adjust your communications accordingly.

This one-day personal development course in New Zealand is useful for anyone who leads or works with other people, no matter what size the organisation. This course will focus on the five core competencies of emotional intelligence: self-management, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation and empathy, while also covering key interpersonal skills like active listening and understanding body language.

Participants will learn to develop and implement these competencies to enhance their relationships in work and life by increasing their understanding of social and emotional behaviours, and learning how to adapt and manage their emotional responses to particular situations.
