RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE


what emerges when we cultivate authentic relationships with ourselves and others?






︎︎︎



︎︎︎WHAT?


relational intelligence is recognizing, understanding, and navigating social dynamics wisely.  we respond well to cues in others, communicate with empathy but without beating around the bush, and manage conflict with integrity and awareness of our judgy minds.  to better deal with needs and feelings in others, we first need to spot them in ourselves.


︎︎︎HOW?


i design and facilitate training, experiences, and retreats that aim at instiling connection, encouraging participants to show up and co-create in an environment of psychological safety.  we focus on experience, rely on emotional intelligence, turn to social psychology, dip in neuroscience, and stay away from toxic positivity. 


︎︎︎WHO?


the participants in my relational intelligence training sessions have been as heterogenous as my clients.  i rely on over 450 hours of experience in delivering search inside yourself and other training, alongside years of practice in facilitating explosive conversations among people belonging to radically diverse identity groups.
