What People are Saying
REAL EQ has helped me immensely. When presented with a stimulus that typically results in an automatic, negative reaction, I have been more conscious of the need to pause, consider the information presented, and react more thoughtfully. This training has helped me be more in control of myself.
The REAL EQ course has had its greatest impact on the language I use. I discovered that the way I talked about others and in certain situations escalated my negative emotions and the emotions of others. Learning to speak positively has had a huge impact on myself and those I manage.
The REAL EQ class has helped me to identify my personal triggers–those situations which trigger my feelings. I have found that this concept has helped me manage my team members and my interactions with customers more effectively.
