After over 20 years of educating adults in communication, I realised that what I was actually doing was helping them to understand their emotions.
When I think about my time delivering training programs in assertiveness, leadership, and sales, I could see I was also helping them manage their emotions. Knowing our emotions and managing our emotions go hand in hand, and it’s really no surprise I now find myself a Chaplain in a primary school.
​
But now I want to do more.
​
When we can express ourselves effectively, we can gain the support we need, and learn the strategies to build our resilience and better deal with our ever-changing world.
​
Emotional literacy forms the building blocks for communicating our feelings. It is what connects our understanding with our actions. When we have the language to define our emotions, we can embed the strategies to regulate and manage them.
