Course overview
Business is always personal.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) accounts for 58% of your professional success. Are you using it in the right way?
This course will give you tactical tools and frameworks that you can leverage everyday to build relationships, manage conflict and advocate effectively.
We will work through each pillar of what forms our emotional intelligence and understand how to best apply them to help you communicate more effectively and grow your influence within your teams and organisations.
This course is for you if you are:
01
A people leader looking to use your influence to build high-functioning teams to drive better outcomes
02
A high potential team member who is struggling to self-advocate and use your influence
03
A founder who is recruiting or building a team, and you need to achieve team buy-in
What we'll cover in the course
What EQ is, isn't and how to build it
Let's start by debunking our first myth: EQ ≠ nice. This section of the course will teach you exactly what EQ means, ways to grow it and how to avoid using it in the completely wrong way.
Influence and how to grow it
Many decisions are made when we're not in the room. This section will be focussed on tactical ways to leverage EQ for building advocacy, driving influence and achieving buy-in.
Psychological safety and how to create it
The highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychological safety — the belief that you won't be punished if you make a mistake. Here, you will learn how to create this team environment, tactfully.
Frameworks for effectively receiving and giving feedback
Feedback is a gift, if you know how to unwrap it. Here, you will learn how to determine which feedback to internalize (and which to ignore!) to drive the most positive outcomes in yourself, and your team.

Upon graduating with a degree in Psychology from McGill University, I started my career at Deloitte Consulting. Over the past 5 years, I have grown from an analyst to senior management, and have built and led teams across Canada and Australia. I have worked directly with emerging team leaders and seasoned C-suite executives on growing their emotional intelligence to accelerate their career and build more resilient teams.
I am currently leading product strategy for an all new product and work directly with stakeholders from our Executive Leadership Team through to cross-functional teams to Customer Success. I believe that influence and communication are some of the most critical skills for success as a product manager.
