Emotional Intelligence (EI) Yes, EI is the number one requirement for success at any age, more important than IQ.  In fact, more people fail at work, at school, and at home due to low EI than from lack of knowledge.  Yes, all truly successful people enjoy well developed emotional intelligence.

The good news is that unlike IQ, EI can be raised at any age.  Now, here is a new, four-week course to help do that.  The course is presented one night a week via teleclass (use either a home phone or computer).  One EI talent is presented each week.

Week One – The first EI talent is Intra-personal skill (that’s the ability to manage yourself).   The most important relationship you ever have is the one you have with yourself.  And that reflects your skill at self-leadership.  And know this about self-leadership: Whether you are 13 or 30, if you ever intend to lead others, you’d better get good at leading yourself first.

 Affirmation: My life: It's up to me so I value who I am, and choose how I think.

Week Two - The second EI talent is Interpersonal skill (i.e., people skills) Learn how 3 of these 4 relationship styles are toxic to relationships and what to do about it.
1 - Win-Lose  (I want to win, so I'll make you lose.  The most common.)
2 - Lose-Win  (I'll lose just to let you win.  I'll accept being your victim.)
3 - Lose-Lose  (Maybe I'll lose, but I'm going to make you lose as well.)
4 - Win-Win  (I want to win in our relationship;  I want you to win too.)

Affirmation:  I am kind, and I easily form win-win relationships.

Week Three - The third EI talent is Stress Management (the ability to tolerate stress and control negative impulses)  Success lies in realizing that while you can't always control what is happening to you, you can always choose your  reaction to it.  Therein lies amazing power, whether you are 14 or 40.
            Negative people and events can hurt me,
            Depending on my response to them.
            But I can choose my response,
            I can control my reaction
            By using my greatest power,
            My power of choice.
            So it's not what happens to me that matters most,
            It's what I do about it that counts.

Affirmation: I control stress, and greet my challenges courageously. 

Week Four - The forth EI talent is Mood (the inclination to be positive, happy, and enthusiastic about life)  Emotional fitness is even more important than physical fitness because you could be in poor shape physically and still be happy, but happiness eludes the emotionally unfit.  Applying EI  boosts happiness levels.  And happiness correlates highly with performance and productivity. 

 Affirmation: My mind, my body, I empower each with the other.

So, Who Should Take This Course? (anonymously if you want)

Youth, especially:

1 -  Youth in high school and college who aspire to leadership in business, or to a helping profession like nursing, teaching, coaching etc. where good EI is so essential 

2 - Stressed  students. A new study reports that 36% of our students feel over-stressed. 

3 - Teenagers whose relationship with one or both parents hurts, and want to know how to deal with that.

1 - Sales people:  The lifeblood of any business is sales.  And in selling anything, nothing determines success more than emotional intelligence (EI).  With good EI, selling can be a noble and extremely satisfying career.  Without EI, selling can be hell, both for the salesperson and the client/customer.

2 - Parents whose parent-child relationship is hurting.  Instead of just trying to force the child to change and expecting that to happen, these parents should also be willing to look at themselves.   If the parent-child relationship is already "okay" (but not great), this course can help deepen the relationship and strengthen the connection to change "okay" to good or excellent.

Also, anyone who:

1- Wants to become who they truly are, instead of what others want for them, or from them.  (You be you.)

2 - Desires a better balanced, more centered life.  (To find out how you rate here, the self-test from the menu bar at the top will tell you.)

Whether you are a youth or an adult, know this: The people in your life really need you - your love, your support, your compassion, and occasionally your forgiveness.  To offer all that requires emotional strength.

As a principal (a very kind one), a certified counseling specialist, and a Board of Education Chairman, I have dealt with a thousand relationships that miserably failed the win-win test:

        students vs. other students
students vs. teachers
teachers vs. parents
students vs. their own parents (this one is my specialty)

 And as a seminar presenter in cities across the country, I have taught coping skills to people facing problems at work.  (For testimonials see FAQs.)  Yes, both at school and in the workplace I have seen a real need for emotional intelligence so I created this course.  

 Do you know that when one of the two people within any relationship changes, the entire relationship dynamic will shift?  For example, if a parent-teen relationship is adversarial (where each may love the other, but not like them much), and either of them uses emotional intelligence to achieve more win-wins, the relationship will invariably improve.  

Another Benefit:  In this course, you're apt to hear about people in similar situations and learn from their struggles and successes. Yes, people are encouraged to anonymously share from their own knowledge and life experiences when that could assist others.  (If you don't want to participate, that's fine. Just listen in.)  You may submit questions before or during each teleclass.

P.S. Remember, enhancing your EI may require you to challenge your own ideas and beliefs, and then change those you need to.  Any change will require two things:  Motivation (for the "why"), and Emotional Intelligence (for the "how").  If you bring the first, this course will provide the second.  The result:  A life that can be happily experienced and enjoyed, even with its challenges.
