Know Your Feelings, Rule Your World

Overview

FULL COURSE · YOUTH AGES 13–35

A youth-focused course on Emotional Intelligence — learn to understand your emotions, build stronger relationships, and handle life’s pressures with confidence.

ABOUT THIS COURSE

Have you ever said something in the heat of the moment and immediately regretted it? Struggled to stay calm under pressure? Found it hard to connect with someone who sees things differently? These aren’t character flaws, they’re skills gaps. And skills can be learned.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage emotions in yourself and in the people around you. Research consistently shows that people with high EQ build stronger relationships, handle pressure better, and lead more fulfilling lives, regardless of their grades or background.

This course was built specifically for young people. It’s honest, practical, and grounded in real situations, not abstract theory. By the end, you won’t just know what EQ is. You’ll have the tools to actually use it, starting today.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

✓	What Emotional Intelligence is — and why it matters far more than IQ in everyday life
✓	How to name and understand your own emotions accurately — beyond just “fine” or “stressed”
✓	How to spot your emotional triggers — and stop them from controlling your decisions
✓	Practical tools to stay calm under pressure — including the pause technique and reframing
✓	How to read people and social situations through empathy and non-verbal cues
✓	How to communicate clearly, handle conflict without blowing up, and give honest feedback kindly
✓	How to build stronger, healthier relationships — at school, at home, and in the workplace
