Understanding and Developing Emotional Intelligence (EI) for Students

Emotional Intelligence helps your students excel & mature

This workshop introduces students to Emotional Intelligence (or Emotional Quotient – commonly known as EQ). Much of our success and well-being in life depends on our EI. Students will learn about this aspect of their development in this workshop. The Enneagram framework will be used to help students understand themselves better through common personality types. They will learn about others through learning about themselves, and become better social agents in their respective communities.
