Emotional Intelligence Workshop for Teenagers
Emotional Intelligence Workshop for Teenagers
Jeffrey’s Bay
16 June 2012
When Thomas Edison – inventor of the Light Bulb – was a boy, his teachers told him he was too stupid to learn anything.
- Thomas Edison – best known for inventing the incandescent lightbulb in 1879.
The most significant form of Intelligence we can attain is Emotional Intelligence as this equips us to perform and succeed in all walks of life.
Our young people are losing out on this incredible learning as more and more time is given to “book learning” as schools and our society tend to attribute a person’s worthiness to their level of scholarly achievement.
Yet, time and time again, we hear of entrepreneurs and inventors who have achieved great wealth and success regardless of the formal learning.
Beethoven’s music teacher once said of him, “…as a composer, he is hopeless”.
Teenager deserve to be fully equipped to manage life in all situations and this is possible when Emotional Intelligence is understood and practiced.
This one day workshop will teach the valuable concepts and skills to open this awareness.
*Self Discipline *Stress Management *Communication *Life Skills *Leadership *Self-Awareness & Self-Control
Saturday 16 June, 2012 * 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
R200 per person
Participants to bring their own lunch, refreshments and snacks. Also a big cushion to sit on and clipboard or notebook and pen.
Please call Joy 079 180 7639 for more information and booking.
This is such a valuable workshop and I am hoping that parents and teenagers will learn how these techniques can bring about positive changes that will inspire all relationships in the home, school and later in the business setting.
Many Excellent organizations, like VW, offer their employees this training. It makes such a huge difference that it is seen as one of the essential courses business globally like to offer.
When we are able to move in the world from a core authenticity and responsibility, we are able to succeed in all endeavors.
I have researched this topic in depth as part of my studies with the University of Denver and presented workshops in Colorado, USA and South Africa to parents, educators and young people.
My motivation is to equip people to be the best that they can be, as this is the gift that impacts us all on a day to day basis.
What will we be learning?
Self – Awareness
Self – Discipline
The Golden Moment – how to recognize it and use it to improve the outcome in all situations
How to control your own impulses
Regulate emotions
How to use the information in many settings
How to help others to be the best they can be, simply by being aware and better control oneself
How will you know you have begun the practice of emotional intelligence ?
- You will be more tolerant.
- You will take a Golden Moment.
- You will stop blaming others.
- You will appreciate people’s differences.
- You will be a resource and a role model for others.
- You will smile more to yourself and others.
- You will start celebrating how far you have come.
Life is too precious to waste it.

Lynda’s Cane Chair Step-by-Step
I was inspired to paint this lovely chair of my sister – Lynda. The light of the afternoon falling across the criss-cross patterns and illuminating the one side of the chair.
This is how it unfolded.
Watching a painting grow and “become” is one of the most rewarding activities I have enjoyed x
Connecting With The Silence Of The Soul
THERAPY WORK – Counselling and Energy Alignment
Energy Alignment Therapy
Energy Therapy balances the person’s life system; the practitioner assists the client to self-heal.
Energy Therapy complements traditional approaches to health and healing. It is not a substitute for them. Referrals to physicians and other licensed health workers are an expected part of the practice.
Energy Alignment Therapy work is an integrated approach and an art, learned through an apprenticeship with experienced Doctors, Nurses and Healers.
Energy Therapy respects all Belief Practices
This is an Experience you will never forget!
A combination of Energy Alignment Therapy and Counselling provides the perfect combination for transformation and deep Inner Healing, restoring balance to the whole system. A person’s health and quality of life is affected by the health and quality of their Energy System, Mind, Body and Spirit.

Master Social Work and Clinical Therapy, Certified Energy Alignment Practitioner, Integrated Health -Colorado,USA
Energy Alignment Therapy combined with Therapeutic Counselling provides the perfect combination for transformation and deep Inner Healing.
- The goal in Energy Therapy is to restore wholeness through harmony and balance.
- Energy Therapy is non-intrusive, economical and effective.
The aim is to teach skills so that each person can hold their life journey in a way that brings them insight, awareness, and a sense of fulfilment.
Each of us is responsible and in control of our own journey towards Deep Inner Healing and Alignment with All That Is.
How does it work?
Information is processed and stored in different areas of the brain and cellular memory and for this reason, sometimes talk therapy alone does not enable us to access trauma or painful memories. This therapy helps to connect and bring about congruency in all our systems in a gentle way that diminishes the chances of re-traumatising the mind and emotional body. When this happens, healing follows.
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS WORK?
All Beings feel and sense this beautiful work. Energy is the source through which we Connect through Love and the Desire to Hold the other is Kindness and Light.

Participants excelled in this workshop
This workshop Connected participants to the value and challenges of meeting the aspects of our Diversity. The objective of this workshop was to highlight the strengths of the Individual within the corporate setting. We gain a sense of purpose when we are able to witness and empower our own awareness. Astute participants understand the need to match this with heightened communication skills. This is a workshop that is an absolute MUST for all organizations wishing to embrace the value of our individual uniqueness. To harness this attitude is the strength that creates significant shifts in perception and relationships.
