Superworking® - 4 day executive workout

"I.Q. gets you the job, E.Q. gets you ahead."   Daniel Goleman (E.Q.*- emotional quotient)

Superworking

  • Learn from the latest research about how to improve brain function.
  • Achieve 5 days’ work in 4 days.
  • Invigorate mental and physical energy levels.

This is a practical, tried and tested, 4 day programme that is interactive and experiential. It is set out over 4- 6 weeks to enable steady practice and assimilation of the techniques in the work place. Using the latest brain and psychological research and techniques, it lets us do more, in less time with less stress. Memory function improves, learning is accelerated and it is fun to do. Participants talk of a “deep sense of regeneration and well being” as a result of it taking part.

In a world where technical skills can be learnt and IQ can be bought in, organisations are realising that the better social and interpersonal skills of their staff give them the edge.

Goleman's model

*E.Q.= Goleman's model outlines four main EI constructs:
