It has been observed that close to 70% of career derailers are due to inability to handle interpersonal problems; unsatisfactory decision making, incompetency in resolving conflicts and failure to adapt to change and elicit trust.

Your workplace and the 'world' is typically a melting pot of different personalities, skills, strengths and emotions. Hence EQ is intricately melded and acts as a catalyst into each and every decision and action within the melting pot – EQ competencies help you have an EDGE in doing so.

Emotions drive People and People Drive Performance.

Most working professionals have difficulty balancing their multiple roles and more than half worry that they do not have enough time for themselves.

An organization’s success is largely dependent upon the health of its workforce. Balance brings health and success and a healthy balanced workforce is a healthy, successful organization.

The purpose of these webinars is to facilitate a discussion about balancing work responsibilities with life responsibilities. In addition to outlining major causes of imbalances, these sessions will examine healthy, positive approaches to accomplishing balance across life, including relationships and personal success.

Finally, these webinars will provide opportunities to practice ways to improve management of time, priorities, and commitments during their career.

Building the Positivity Muscle:

A workshop that breaks down negative thinking and negative emotions - fear, anger, guilt, shame and pain. Through this session, participants will be able to truly understand what "being happy" or "being positive" entails; they will be able to flip their negative self-talk; and learn to look at situations from a positive lens.

Overcoming Anxiety:

Understanding and learning key mindsets and tools to tackle and overcome anxiety

Circle of Emotions and How to Communicate Effectively:

This webinar is about understanding and processing our 5 negative emotions - fear, anger, guilt, shame and pain. Through this workshop we break these 5 emotions down and share effective tools to process them and respond appropriately. This part of the session is full of perspectives and provides tools for working women to grow and build.

There are some key obstacles we create by way of speaking and reacting. Changing our language and tone by first understanding the underlying emotions and governing thoughts can be a game changer. We can learn to communicate our feelings and thoughts effectively.

Befriending the Inner Critic:

This 90 min workshop is about dropping judgments and building conviction. It is judgment and the inner voice that says, "I am not good enough" that erodes our sense of self and often leads to anxiety and depression.

This workshop helps you identify that voice and its words; we learn to identify and focus on our strengths while choosing to work on what we see as "flaws" from a space of acceptance and growth.

The Balancing Act:

This 90 min workshop is about understanding what it takes to live a full life and well, what does a full life look like in the first place. Through simple writing exercises we help attendees see, register and anchor their individual selves as the center of their lives instead of making it all about a career or then a relationship.

We also help them jumpstart a process of identifying their values and belief system while creating a one line brief of evolution and growth for their individual selves.

Goal setting:

Understanding the difference between wants and goals. This workshop teaches participants to set value-based goals and breaking it down into a doable plan of action using the power of intentions and the practice of 'break it down to build it up'.

The Willingness Effect:

This 90 min workshop is the next step of the above Vision Board and Goal Setting workshop. Why is it that we set goals, work towards them and yet fall short? Because success needs more than capability. It requires a willingness - to do what it takes, to go the distance. This workshop helps participants understand their willingness quotient for their goals and identify what needs to change or what more do they need to learn to succeed.

We also go a step further and understand that every goal and desire demands a version of ourselves. It is this version that we identify and begin to create through simple exercises.

The 4 steps to change:

A workshop in which participants learn an Awareness to Action formula to create the change they wish to experience. Understanding what we need to change, why we need to change and how we can change is a full-circle process. Many of us think about or go through the process of change in pieces and hence fail to succeed. This simple formula helps build the right mindset an individual needs to build powerful habits and create lifestyle shifts.

The 3 Cs of success:

A workshop that teaches participants the 3 Cs - clarity, conviction and consistency - needed to succeed. Simple perspectives and tools that can help participants communicate effectively and also move forward towards their goals efficiently.

The keys to productivity:

- overcoming procrastination

- moving from overthinking to organised thinking

- taking responsibility and understanding accountability

- being empowered instead of entitled

- learning to meditate
