AQ & EQ Workshops for Teams.

  • Emotional resilience is the psychological capacity to handle pressure, change, and stress. It’s not a fixed trait but one you can develop and strengthen. In this workshop, we’ll guide you through techniques to build resilience and improve your Adversity Quotient (AQ)—a measure of how well you bounce back from challenges. Together, we’ll explore how to better manage stress in both work and personal life, and how to handle the unexpected, big challenges that life may throw your way.

    This workshop can be taught to a wide spectrum of teams, from groups of 1 to 5000.

  • Expand your leadership capacity and create an environment that fosters emotional intelligence with this workshop.

    We tailor our workshops to your group, from small holistic practices of three to Fortune 500 companies.

  • Emotional intelligence and resilience is the ability to recognize and manage emotions in yourself, others, and groups—an essential component of effective leadership—as well as handle the stress of challenges that arise. By enhancing emotional intelligence and resilience, leaders can improve self-awareness, foster better communication, build trust, and strengthen workplace relationships.

    This comprehensive program goes beyond the basics of emotional intelligence, focusing on practical applications to:

    • Build trust

    • Navigate tough decisions

    • Boost resilience

    • Enhance team performance

    • Lead for long-term success

  • “I gained more clarity around the who, what, and where of my business (the nuts and bolts) and how to reach my audience.” — Michelle Gage, Hela Wellness

  • “I was able to really iterate on the plan that I was taking for my business. Through their guidance I learned a lot more about the different tacks I could take, and which one was best for me. They also gave me motivation to keep going forward, which is always very helpful.” — Michael Krulwich, Beverage Entrepreneur

  • "The Emotional Resilience (AQ) training for my small health practice was amazing. We learned how to communicate so much better! Especially our younger staff who did not get these skills in college." Susan, Wellness Practice of 10 in Brooklyn

  • “Laena taught this awesome class on EQ skills! I didn’t even know what that was, but basically we learned to connect, be curious, ask the right questions, and listen with attention. I feel like I am still processing all we learned.” - M.T.C, EQ Workshop Attendee at Brooklyn coworking space.

  • “Strong. Smart. Empowering. Encouraging. ” — Kristen Duncan Williams, Founder, Leeway Collective

  • “You guys are so great! I couldn’t have asked for more supportive coaches. I felt like you were genuinely invested in me and my company. Even when we didn’t have a meeting, I would still receive check in emails on my progress and I really appreciated that ongoing encouragement.” — Monique Brown, Affirmation Culture
