When times are tough, leaders don’t just need sharper strategies they need sharper emotional intelligence. EQ Unlocked is a practical, high-impact program designed to help you lead yourself and others through uncertainty with resilience, clarity, and humanity.
You’ll dive deep into the "human operating system" to master your emotions under pressure, recharge your energy, set boundaries, connect without burning out, and lead with clarity even when the path ahead isn’t clear.
This course isn’t about textbook theory it’s about real-world tools, self-mastery, and team strategies that you can use immediately to not just survive, but thrive, in uncertain times.
What You'll Gain:
In just one powerful day, you’ll build the four essential skills of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management along with practical tools to interpret, articulate, and regulate emotions with precision. You’ll discover how to harness empathy strategically, boost your emotional vocabulary, and unlock the personal and professional benefits of a high EQ.
Your Personalised Experience:
You’ll complete a personality profile that reveals key emotional and communication styles, helping you recognise differences among various personality types including your own. This deeper understanding gives you a clear pathway to engaging others more effectively, improving communication, and strengthening relationships under any conditions.
Your Edge for the Future:
With this newfound emotional mastery, you'll lead with greater confidence, build stronger teams, and achieve your personal and professional goals faster. EQ Unlocked empowers you to navigate the challenges of uncertainty and turn them into opportunities for growth, leadership, and lasting success.
In addition to public classes for individuals and inhouse team training for groups, PD Training can provide a complete professional development program for your organisation which combines EQ and other training content, so contact us today to learn more!

“I was a fill in at the last moment and this training course was excellent. It was even more relevant to me as I need to change my communication style needs with a focus to positively influence others. The trainer was excellent; he made it acceptable for me to label my emotions and understand why it was affecting me. Joe drew visual diagrams; which were light bulbs moments for me. One example is understanding I needed to change my habits to achieve better outcomes, better results and more flexibility. The room was also great as we were a group of 4 (3 participants and 1 trainer).”
-Department of Human Services
“The course overall was excellent and very helpful within our workplace with so many different personalities and dealing with families within our community. Angie the trainer was brilliant and the time just flew. She really tuned into us as a group”.
-Heritage Pre School
""Most useful: The discussions during the course focuses on tools and techniques to resolve the problems identified with EQ rather than just identifying/classifying people. Also appreciated that the trainer highlights that the most important is to practice the tools and techniques and to allow mistakes and learn from them."
-Woodside Energy Ltd
"Discussion in class was enlightening - sometimes in a situation you feel you haven't handled it well and the discussion highlighted situations where others had felt the same - this was good for me to realise that I'm not alone in some situations. I have since looked back over the worksheets and manual and have become more self-aware, especially in social situations I can look back and determine what my triggers are when I become defensive or emotionally upset by the words/actions of others."
-Women in Mining Network (WIMnet)
"Most useful part of the course was going through each of the 4 profiles together (people were sitting in groups), it really showed understanding of yourself especially sitting next to someone who may be similar, and hearing suggestions on how to deal with people from other profiles e.g. Advisors preferring one on one over group conversation."
-LeaseEagle
"I found the Instructor really passionate about his subject. We were all surprised to know how much was there about Emotional Intelligence. We felt that it should have probably gone over two days. I got a lot more out of it than I expected."
-Defence Learning Branch
"This course is absolutely great. It is very concise and yet action orientated to help build emotional intelligence. I would really appreciate a follow up session or perhaps a group follow-up forum/meeting to consolidate lessons-learned and debrief. Many thanks!"
-Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development
"Your trainer was great at building rapport, he was interesting and engaging. The training was great as a foundational course on emotional intelligence. I had a really lovely day and felt comfortable in the group and in the facilitation style of the trainer who has an obvious passion for his craft. Well done!" -Department of Communities,
-Child Safety and Disability Services
"Candy was an outstanding trainer who provided an amazing amount of information, examples and self-awareness activities; demonstrating the vast amount of experience she has in her field. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and was an absolute pleasure to interact with. This was my first course with PD Training and I will be highly recommending these services to my managers and superiors for future reference."
-Westpac
"Anne was brilliant. The way in which she conducted herself and facilitated debate was unbelievable. Her knowledge on EQ and ability to answer our questions was great."
-Green Building Council of Australia
"This was the most engaging training I've ever attended. The trainer was very knowledgeable and responsive to the group's needs." "The separation of the group into their personal style and then talking through each of the styles and how they interacted with the other styles - was very good and the most effective part of the course." "One of the best "fit to task" trainers I have had in Justice courses. Respectful of participants, patient, personable."
-Dept Of Justice And Attorney-General

Emotional intelligence is no longer a "nice-to-have" skill it's the cornerstone of effective leadership in today's unpredictable world. When pressure rises and the future feels unclear, leaders must be able to manage emotions, their own and those of others, to create stability, foster trust, and keep people moving forward.
EQ Unlocked was developed to address this urgent need. It's a practical, hands-on experience designed to strengthen the emotional and interpersonal skills that drive high performance, especially in times of disruption. You'll explore how stress shapes human behavior, why emotional regulation is critical under pressure, and how true resilience is built from the inside out.
Throughout this course, you’ll uncover how emotions influence decision-making, relationships, and team culture. You'll build tangible skills to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively, set healthier personal and professional boundaries, and lead conversations that maintain momentum even when stakes are high.
This experience is about empowerment. It’s about recognising the signals your mind and body send under stress and using that awareness as your leadership superpower. You'll also learn how to foster emotional safety within teams, strengthen collaboration, and model the kind of steady leadership people crave during uncertain times.
As you work through the program, you’ll not only build new capabilities you’ll fundamentally shift the way you show up as a leader, colleague, and human being.
This is your opportunity to unlock a deeper level of influence, resilience, and effectiveness starting with mastering yourself. Welcome to your next level of leadership.
