all these feelings

emotional literacy as a key skill to (self) leadership 

To truly evolve our (self) leadership skills and
allow individuals and teams to really thrive,
we have to stop ignoring the fact that we are
human beings with emotions.

Harnessing emotions is one of the most overlooked aspects of our (work) culture.

Cultivating Emotional Literacy benefits the planet and humanity through understanding how to navigate our emotional energy in relating to ourselves and others. Learning how to be emotionally literate strengthens our empathy towards ourselves and others and increases our emotional resilience.

It allows us to navigate our emotions - especially in moments of tension and conflict - and channel their energies into direct, peaceful, and efficient action and communication

Emotional Literacy is Emotional Intelligence in action.

“To be emotionally literate is to be able to handle emotions in a way that improves your personal power and improves the quality of life around you. Emotional literacy improves relationships, creates loving possibilities between people, makes cooperative work possible and facilitates the feeling of community.”

— Claude Steiner

By teaching individuals and teams to be emotionally literate, we allow them to:

Expand their empathy and improve their relating skills.

Intensified knowledge of how to leverage emotional wisdom enables us to increase empathy, build stronger relationships, and foster belonging.

Enhance their decision-making skills.

They become equipped to prioritize better, prevent procrastination and make more confident decisions.

Sharpen their problem-solving approach and creativity.

They become enabled to tap into a variety of innovative approaches and alternatives due to enhanced creativity and problem-solving skills.

Become more resilient.


They gain skills that guide them to establish a sense of clarity and calm during challenging conversations and situations.

Start becoming more emotionally literate to allow true empathy, creativity and belonging.
