IFS Informed Emotional Intelligence Introductory Series
9:30 AM - 11:00 AM





  $200 for all 4 classes  Register at  www.vagaro.com/sweetwaterstudios

This series of four workshops will give you the tools to improve your Emotional Intelligence (EI). You will learn to gain awareness of your own and others’ emotions, what reactions stem from them, why you have them, and how to formulate more productive responses. The goal of EI training is to enhance intrapersonal and interpersonal communication.

In a sport and athletic context research has determined that improving intrapersonal and interpersonal communication seems to be a key factor in improving team cohesion and enhanced athletic performance. It is also a handy skill to have in many life situations!

When you are aware of emotions, the reactions they elicit, and the subsequent behavior in others, this will enhance communication and the ability to modulate your own actions and responses for a productive and beneficial outcome.

Series to be held Saturdays through October
