Being Luminary

This programme delves into the essence of emotional intelligence (EQ), a cornerstone for building inclusive and equitable environments. We offer dynamic activities that develop self-awareness, enhance empathy, and refine social skills, facilitating both your intellectual and emotional growth. We also examine relevant case studies, fostering thoughtful reflection on the pivotal role EQ plays in creating spaces that embrace diversity.

Beyond the theoretical, we’ll equip you with practical tools to appreciate the diversity (or lack of) of your audience asking you to confront their unique characteristics and needs and your ability to serve them truly. You’ll participate in perspective-shifting exercises, discussions, and visualisation practices that let you walk in the shoes of different audience members, revealing the true value of empathy in leadership and service provision.

We explore various methods to assess inclusion and belonging, aligning these elements with your organisation's core principles. The journey continues as you'll learn to identify areas of deficit and improvement, leading to more inclusive and equitable practice in any professional setting.

Addressing complex DEI matters may raise risks and challenges, but this course is designed to prepare you for such instances. We provide strategies for risk mitigation, emotional regulation during difficult times, always with the preservation of inclusivity in mind.

The programme includes curated reading lists and multimedia resources, enriching your understanding and stimulating thoughtful reflections. These materials will broaden your perspectives, provide fresh insights, and spark critical thinking.

Join us as we set out to patrol the border between what has been and what will be.
