EQ for Tough Times: How Can Emotional Intelligence help us Navigate Life?

Gwyneth is a certified EQ Assessor, Coach and has a MSc in Applied Positive Psychology. Her focus is on reconencting people to themselves, each other, and to nature.Gwyneth uses a combination of coaching, mindfulness, nature connection, and facilitation to help people understand themselves and each other on a deeper level, leading to happier, more fulfilled and authentic lives. More specifically, she helps people who want to change the world to gain the strength, clarity and courage to bring their ideas into reality.In these times, where we seemingly lie on the precipice of extinction, war, climate disaster, something more than 'conventional' coaching is needed. That's why Gwyneth's work focuses more on reconnecting people with the earth and nature's cycles, in preparation for what some call The Great Turning - the unravelling of the current system as we know it. As part of this, she organises events in nature, is involved with The Work That Reconnects and Deep Adaptation, and may even invite you to her garden to reenergise.

How can Emotional Intelligence (EQ) help us deal with life when things get hard?

You don&#x27;t need me to tell you that this is a wild, unpredictable and scary time.But while we can&#x27;t always change what&#x27;s happening around us, there are tools and skills that we can learn to help us navigate uncertainty.Emotional Intelligence (or EQ) has been shown to be every bit as important (or more so) than traditional IQ in terms of predicting people&#x27;s overall happiness in life, the quality of their relationships, and their reactions to stress. But what is EQ, and how can you &#x27;master&#x27; it?EQ simply refers to how well we understand and know ourselves, our physiological/emotional reactions, and how well we are able to navigate our feelings. It is NOT a magic pill or a way to switch off unpleasant feelings - but understanding how your brain and body work and respond to stress can be a powerful tool for navigating the stormy seas of a time like this, rather than letting the waves pull you under. I like to look at it as becoming a good captain of your &quot;ship&quot;... even if you can&#x27;t stop the storm.Come and join me to discuss what EQ is and how we can start to unlock our Emotional Intelligence in order to navigate tough situations, including the Pandemic, climate change, political instability, and whatever else is on your mind.The session will be interactive, although there is no pressure to take part in the discussions.
