Emotional intelligence training in Michigan, practiced where it gets tested.
Lorrena Black runs emotional intelligence training in Michigan for leaders, managers and employees: hands-on workshops on Daniel Goleman’s framework, capped at 30 so everyone practices.
The problem it answers
Emotional intelligence gets tested in small moments: over-preparing for a meeting that needed ten minutes, over-explaining a decision that needed no defense, going quiet in the room where the decision gets made. The training works on those moments, not on the theory.
What participants practice
- Read the room under pressure
- Notice what is happening in themselves and the room, and adjust before it costs them.
- Speak where decisions get made
- Bring their ideas to the meeting instead of holding them for later.
- Decide without the extra week
- Make the call without over-preparing or over-explaining it.
- Coach each other
- Talk a colleague through self-doubt in language the whole team shares.
“Her transparency created an immediate sense of connection with our participants. She challenged attendees to identify what they will start, stop, and continue. The framework was simple, powerful, and immediately applicable.”
