Effective Communication Skills
One of the most difficult, but also one of the most important topics in life is communication. Communication makes us understand information, makes us aware of each other’s ideas , makes us express our feelings, makes us able to discuss or understand anything that we would like to learn.
However it is one of the most difficult tools in life, because we all make different pictures from words. For example, if I talk about a wild animal, you can think of a monkey but someone else thinks of a lion. So with these different pictures in mind we start discussing a monkey and a lion, which seem not to be the same animals. Miscommunication can happen quickly.
If you are emotionally involved with a topic like sustainability and the one you are talking to is not interested or does not care about this topic, irritation or other emotions might take over and miscommunication can happen quickly.
If your girlfriend did not feel listened to when she was a child, she might be sensitive to you not being in the moment to listen to her. She becomes angry or sad and miscommunication can happen quickly.
In the end the result is that we do not understand each other and we do not feel empathy for the other. We might even get frustrated or angry. This might lead to ‘war’ not ‘peace’.
In some cultures people are not even used to communicating, because they never learned how to do it or it might not be appropriate in the culture. This may lead to self denial, self-defence, a negative atmosphere and even to broken relationships.
Not being able to communicate in a healthy and constructive way is making people unhappy, lonely, pugnacious and judgmental.
In this course/training you will learn:
- To ask sensible questions without feeling insecure.
- To summarize what someone else just told you.
- To give and to receive feedback without the need to feel rejected.
- To distinguish what is really meant by the one who speaks to you and what is your interpretation.
- To communicate healthily and send the right message to the one who is the receiver of the message.

Emotional Intelligence Development
When you can consciously recognize, feel and regulate your emotions, and are able to recognize those from others too, we speak of a high EQ.
But why would we want to develop our Emotional Intelligence?
It seems that we do need this EQ to establish ourselves in society to have peaceful and healthy connections, however the EQ development is not being stimulated in our educational system and most people are not aware of their emotional life. In society the IQ is put a lot of emphasis on but research shows that being happy, healthy and being successful are mainly due to a high EQ.
How do you recognize people with low EQ?
- they don't know who they are, they are not aware of their emotions
- they cannot control and adjust their emotions
- they react to everything from obstructive emotions (projections) and project them on the outside world
- they take no responsibility for their behaviour or the pain they can create to others
- they cannot listen, only argue to get their point across
- they mostly lack self love
Unfortunately this still concerns more than 90% of our society.
Emotional Intelligence is measurable in our daily lives.
You can ask yourself: Can I live in harmony with my situation or is there always a fuss in my head and in my life?
Trouble in your life can cause depression, loneliness or addictions and diseases.
Emotional intelligence is about having a peaceful mind.
During this course you will learn to name and understand your obstructive emotions so that you can let go of them. This is what we call: shadow work. We will work on our shadows to let go of old patterns which do not serve us any longer.
We often lack self-love and self-esteem because of the denial of ourselves and the rejection we experienced in our youth. By accepting ourselves as we are, we become more ourselves, more authentic.
This often creates room for more positive situations and more positive people in your life.
You will communicate more effectively and be able to set your boundaries better.
If we all would accept ourselves for who we are and accept others as they are, the world would definitely be a better place.
We heal the world by healing ourselves
What do you learn in this course/workshop?
- you will get more clarity of what is withdrawing you from a happy life.
- how to transform the obstructive emotions into a healthy flow in your life (shadow work)
- to become more resistant to the judgments of the outside world
- how to understand and love yourself more
- stay away from negative discussions
- how to express yourself and how to better listen to others with empathy
- to have healthy conversations and fruitful results
We offer (this is not compulsory) an emotional intelligence test upon request.

Talent & Career Development Course
Young people, adolescents but also many grown-ups have a challenge nowadays to find their way to a satisfactory career and a fulfilled life. They often experience a lot of pressure from the outside world.
And then what does a career mean? Is this an achievement, driven by their own motivation or what is socially accepted? Or do these young people want to come up with the idea of their parents or friends?
There can be many reasons and ideas and some young people do not have any idea at all what kind of job they would like to study for or they might not even want to study but start their own business.
Being successful and happy in your career does not mean that you need to be a high sky intellectual. Studies of successful people show that for a happy and successful life, emotional intelligence (EQ) is much more important than intellectual intelligence (IQ).
Unfortunately, in our society, schools are still based on intellectual results. Many of them never studied the topic in which they are really talented and this might result in unhappiness. Many talented people do not want to go to university but do not get the same opportunities outside university life and their interest is not so valued by society. But fortunately this is changing. More people feel that there should be more than studying what is offered by the system. They choose to follow their own path and are successful. Because to them success means being happy and satisfied. So why not find out what inspires you and which talents you have? We can do this together and it will be fun too.
What does this course look like?
We will have an intake with you and together we will set your goals. At what stage are you now and what do you want to achieve?
We can offer some simple tests which will also contribute to your starting point and final achievement. This is not to fix any result but to use it as a start of your awareness. Emotional intelligence will grow if you work on it.
We will work with a model which can give information about your character and qualities and the status of your emotional intelligence and your communication skills. Once you can commit to the results, you can work towards who you really are. Finding your own path and inspiration to achieve what makes you happy. And what makes you happy will make you work satisfactorily and make you successful. Is it not what we all want to achieve? All of us like to be happy, while expressing our qualities into our daily work, being successful.
This course will offer you a solid base for future decisions concerning your career and your life path.
Target group:
Adolescents, students and people who like to know more about themselves, > 16 years old.
