Course Overview

If you are interested in understanding yourself better, increasing self-awareness, and learning how to regulate your emotions, then this is the course for you.

To begin with, the Developing Holistic Intelligence: EQ and Beyond short course explores four domains of human intelligence: emotional intelligence (EQ), social intelligence (SQ), human body (BQ) intelligence, and spiritual intelligence (SpQ). More specifically, it teaches you how to apply these skills in both personal and professional environments.

Next, in this 50-hour short course, you will deepen your emotional intelligence and acquire practical social awareness strategies for everyday life. As a result, you will learn how to prevent conflict, foster meaningful connections, communicate with confidence, and navigate social dynamics more effectively.

Furthermore, you will delve into personal values, meaning, and life purpose while practising inner wisdom and expressing compassion for others.

Ultimately, by the end of this course, you will be more in touch with yourself, engage more effectively with others, and make well-rounded decisions for a more fulfilling and wholesome life.

What You’ll Learn

Through course videos, readings and discussions, you will explore the following topics:

Rethinking Intelligence - Beyond IQ
  • Discuss the fundamentals of intelligence and intelligence types.
  • Explore your own capacities and baselines before delving into the details of what these intelligences do and how they can be trained.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) – The Foundations of Self-Mastery
  • Unpack the foundations of emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, emotional regulation and inner motivation.
  • Learn how to identify, understand and work with your emotions to support wellbeing and personal growth.
Social Intelligence (SQ) – Navigating Human Connection
  • Develop socially intelligent habits that support collaboration, inclusion and relational presence in everyday life.
Body Intelligence (BQ) – Embodied Wisdom
  • Reconnect with the intelligence of your body.
  • Learn how posture, breath and sensation influence emotion and decision-making.
  • Gain practice tools for self-regulation, grounding and embodied awareness.
Spiritual Intelligence (SpQ) – Living with Meaning, Purpose & Value
  • Discover how to align your life with your values, purpose and inner wisdom.
  • Reflect, synthesise and articulate your personal purpose to support ongoing growth and holistic leadership.

Course Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will have achieved the following:

  • Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
    To begin with, you’d strengthened your emotional intelligence by increasing self-awareness, learning to regulate your emotions effectively, and then applying these skills confidently in both your personal and professional settings.
  • Social Intelligence (SQ)
    Next, you’d enhanced your social intelligence by navigating social dynamics with greater empathy and confidence. As a result, you would be able to prevent conflict, build meaningful relationships, and apply these abilities effectively in leadership and collaboration.
  • Bodily Intelligence (BQ)
    In addition, you’d developed your bodily intelligence by understanding the mind–body connection and its impact on overall wellbeing. Through this process, you would have learnt how to use somatic practices such as breathwork, posture, and movement to strengthen self-regulation, boost vitality, and enhance your leadership presence.
  • Spiritual Intelligence (SpQ)
    Finally, you’d deepened your spiritual intelligence by exploring meaning, purpose, and personal values.
