“I have enjoyed, by most standards, a successful career and life.
Still I sometimes have cause to look back and ask myself ‘could I have done better - could I have been more successful?’
The answer, which I now know to be true, is clearly ‘Yes.’ Yes, that is, if I had only known then what I know now about
Emotional Intelligence. That knowledge – that answer – is what has moved me to create EQ101, so that more people can
enjoy more success while in their prime and fewer will have cause to look back on unfulfilled potential.”
Mark Schatz MBA
Lecturer, Facilitator, Trainer, Mentor
Mark harnesses business know-how gained in senior executive management roles to provide levels of education, training and mentoring with a practical and results-oriented difference.
Focusing on elevating emotional intelligence and its role in genuine leadership, Mark assists individuals and teams within organisations to realise their full potential through a process of learning, development and continuous improvement.
With a comfortable and considered style of communication, Mark is uniquely sensitive to differing learning styles of individuals and groups, enabling him to present the essence of the EQ 101 professional development workshop with unusual clarity and accessibility.
His focus in the workshop is on the practical aspects of learning emotional intelligence and commensurate competencies, in particular ‘personal competencies’ and ‘social competencies’ because it is a balanced combination of these competencies across the five elements of emotional intelligence that will result in superior performance in, as well as outside the professional world of work. In essence, it is about how we understand and manage ourselves and our role in creating and growing productive work and personal relationships with others.
Importantly, Mark gives context to theory, recounting through personal experience how emotional competence is inextricably linked to successful leadership. Learning through real life examples, EQ101 Workshop participants are thus better equipped to turn learning into action and real achievement in their everyday business and personal lives.
