Testimonials of Previous Participants
“Every single thing was helpful/applicable. The workshop was full of practical information to implement right away. I loved the ‘Ideas to Regulate’ and the Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions was illuminating. I can't wait to use it with staff and older students. Lastly, I truly loved the lens of "emotions are our allies." They are truly here to teach us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
-District SEL Consultant
“I loved the balance between content and activities. I always get the most out of applying the content in an exercise, and that was certainly the case today as well! Great balance between the two. The facilitators were amazing: engaging, thoughtful and knowledgable. Great session and I am excited!”
-High School Teacher
“The presenters were great, loved the energy and passion for the topic!”

What is EQ (Emotional Intelligence)?
Some people ask, what is Emotional Intelligence? While we could write multiple books (as many have) on the topic, simply put, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the capacity to blend thinking and feeling to make optimal decisions. It is “being smarter with our feelings”.
