Reconnecting with Self

Reconnecting with self begins by listening inward.

As we get busy, we move quickly, solve problems, and take care of others, often without pausing to notice what we’re feeling or what those feelings are asking of us. This EQ Café offers space to slow down and reconnect with yourself, not by fixing or judging emotions, but by listening to them.

We’ll use emotions as a pathway to connection; when we allow ourselves to feel with awareness and care, we strengthen our sense of self, clarify what matters, and create the conditions for deeper connection with others. Reconnecting with self is about rebuilding an inner relationship that supports presence, choice, and meaning.

In this EQ Café we will explore how emotions connect us. Drawing on new research from Six Seconds on the “Resource Caravan”, a cluster of EQ skills that travel together and strengthen resilience, we’ll discover which emotional intelligence capacities fuel genuine community and practice the simplest and most powerful form of connection there is: listening.

Emotional intelligence (aka “EQ”) means being smarter with feelings and we can grow EQ by practising together. EQ Cafés are insightful, engaging sessions for people curious about emotional intelligence to connect and learn together.

We are blessed to have a global community working towards 1 billion people practising emotional intelligence. Gathering in community and practising emotional intelligence supports us, this time in growing our resilience, another one of the foundational pillars of EQ.

In this Emotional Intelligence Application Café we will discover:

• ① What does “reconnecting with self” really mean
• ② How do emotions function as signals and sources of inner wisdom?
• ③ What gets in the way of listening to ourselves, and how can we shift that pattern?
