The upcoming holiday season brings connection and warmth… and sometimes a mix of emotions that can feel challenging to navigate.
This month's EQ Meetup explores how emotional intelligence and the NVC (Non-Violent Communication) model can help us understand and move through tricky relational dynamics with more clarity, compassion and groundedness. ✨
Whether it's family tension, old patterns resurfacing, or moments where your needs feel hard to express, this session will help you recognise what is happening underneath these interactions and how to respond with more awareness and ease.
Together, we will explore the core NVC elements:
🔹exploring the difference between observations, interpretations and feelings
🔹identifying feelings
🔹identifying needs
🔹formulating requests
You will learn how these steps can shift the way you show up in moments that tend to feel activating. From understanding the difference between feelings and interpretations to identifying what your nervous system is signalling when you feel triggered, you will walk away with tools you can use immediately.💙
Agenda:
- 19:30 - 19:40 - Welcome & gathering
- 19:40 - 21:00 - Engaging and practical hands-on workshop with Kitty van Dijk (Coach & Skills Trainer) and Bela Weksler (Psychologist and EQ Specialist)
