THE 6 ESSENTIAL TRAITS OF EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT LEADERS WORKSHOP 2026

Date(s) & Location:
12 – 13 February 2026
Melbourne Marriott Hotel, Docklands, Melbourne, Australia

(In-person only)

Emotions are the background of almost everything we do. They drive our responses, thoughts, and performance. You may experience up to 34,000 emotions that somehow impact your decisions and relationships personally and professionally. Developing the intelligence required to manage own emotions and those of others is a critical skill for leaders. Leaders face various challenges and obstacles, not only in their mission to bring better outcomes, standards, and performance but also in managing competing priorities and the diversity of the people involved. Increasing the El level helps significantly in leading diverse teams, influencing others, empowering high performance, and bringing a creative approach to improve productivity, engagement, and retention.

The program will provide practical strategies to help you:

Develop more vital emotional awareness- the mindful and empathetic leader
Increase self-regulation and often maintain emotional balance in facing challenges
Develop trust and build an effective relationship
Inspire and influence others while creating more robust negotiation and decision-making abilities
Develop a personal balance sheet and self-development plan

TESTIMONIALS

“I have had the pleasure of being taught by Afaf, not only in the Leadership group but as my personal coach for approximately 12 months.
Afaf has a calm integrated approach that has enabled me to grow unrestricted in expression, identifying personal and business attributes so I can be the giant leader I have dreamt to be.
She identifies, nourishes, and builds upon my current foundation with a plan to achieve my ultimate goal through tools I have not yet acquired.
The asset I most resonate with Afaf is her genuine and nurturing support in assisting my growth, which is truly felt in every conversation whether negative or positive that somehow permits me internally to be the best man I can be. I would have no hesitation in recommending Afaf to anyone ready to change their life, through internal strength and expanding their realms of opportunity and trajectory.”

I have utilised this new approach in dealing with my team members and it has been very effective.

I highly recommend Afaf’s coaching and would attend more courses with her.”
