Emotional Assertiveness Model ® (EA)

What is Emotional Assertiveness Model ® (EA)?

From years of research on effective corporations and schools, we learnt that where values are focussed on developing excellent people skills, companies and schools become more efficient and profitable. From this, the Emotional Assertiveness Model was developed through research out of the UK by John Parr MSc to offer personal development in being emotionally intelligent, and to show people how to use their emotions in a healthy way.

As a manager, employee, school teacher, parent or in life, our greatest assets are our relationships and to be able to get the best from people. Most people work at the top of their efficiency and are happiest when they are a part of a healthy functional group or team.

Emotional Assertiveness or EQ is the key to facilitating healthy relationships and a healthy work and home environment.

In this course you will learn how to be in touch with what is most healthy in your emotional expressions and to extinguish those behaviours that lead to unproductive competitiveness and conflict.

YouTube video on what is Emotional Assertiveness?

““Every day my stress levels decrease and the more I practice being in touch with and expressing my emotions authentically, this experience grows.

I especially notice that my levels of fear and anger related to both situations and people now last for only seconds rather than becoming debilitating.

I experience increased acceptance from others and conflict has become something I manage in a relaxed way, even if a dispute is about an important issue.

Thank you for developing and sharing this amazing model.””
