EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE COURSE
MM&A’s Emotional Intelligence Course helps teach the non-cognitive skills and competencies which we need to successfully communicate with people in our everyday lives, including our working relationships. Such insight allows us to manage our own emotions and to read others’ emotional states, which can help us guide our thinking and actions.
This EQ Programme covers the interpersonal as well as intrapersonal aspects to assist the individual to gain a deeper understanding of the effects of his/her leadership style, communication behaviours and how to make the necessary adjustments needed for their work and/or personal environments. The EQ Course covers:
- Emotional intelligence assessment
- Interpersonal skills (self-awareness and self-expression)
- Intrapersonal skills (social awareness and interaction)
- Emotional management and control
- Change management
- Self-motivation
“I’m at a Tutu fellowship this week and at the start they told us that we’d do some self-leadership exercises using transactional leadership. We’ve done very deep work and even more game field exercises that are reaching me. A lot of it is very emotional, but thanks to the work that you did with our Exco members, I’m more open to the learning, I’m more generous when sharing and also able to better hold space for those around me.”

“Thank you! Assisting me in self-belief and worth helped me to start sharing my experiences. The feedback received from my collegues was a mind blowing and humbling experience. This made me realize that I have so much more to give in life and people truly appreciate honest opinions. As a person with a lot of trust and over achiever issues in my personal life, Marichen managed to assist unpacking these and deal with them on a day to day basis. The realization after various self-reflections is life changing and made me a better Mother and Wife figure in my relationships. Unpacking these challenges and giving me the tools to work through each of these constructively. I will continue practicing these new techniques and practices in every given situation. If I can test and trial the tools and techniques provided, I will remain relevant and be an inspiring leader. An awesome learning experience which will remain with me in my professional and private life. Thank you Marichen – for giving me the opportunity to learn how to become a more self-assured and emotionally equipped leader with broader insight”
