Testimonials
One of the best investments of time and money! I have participated in several courses run by Mucha and her team. I consider her expertise in coaching clients on emotional intelligence to be very effective. It is delivered in a well organized and articulated way. Mucha's thought provoking - "What, Why" questions during the sessions were complemented by practical exercises that prompted me to consider how to apply these reflections in the daily choices I was making for my work, career, creative pursuits and parenting choices. One of the biggest take aways -"Choosing myself" especially appreciating that I have a choice in how I react. I have taken part in the Unlock Potential With EQ Webinar Series and EQ Super Power: The Self Awareness Toolkit.

Attending the course (Unlock Potential With EQ) in the midst of the COVID uncertainty wave turned out to being the best decision I took - the moments of realization and awakenings were profound. The course woke me up inside to some of the things I was afraid to face head on, but also empowered me with the knowledge and skills to truly fully step into my journey of life. Mucha brought a contagious sense of calm and 'I-got-this' aura, which was just what I personally needed beyond the very informative course content.

I am so thankful that I came across Mucha's EQ course! Apart from the aha! moments I got especially on emotions being data - in essence that we should not judge them in being either right or wrong but learn to investigate the insights within - it also provided me with a roadmap on self- discovery, self- management and self- direction. And how the 3 intertwine to help me vibrate at a higher level at work and even on a personal level. I wish I had discovered her course sooner !! Thank you Mucha 🙏

Mucha’s EQ journey has been such an inspiration to me especially in that last 12 months when her EQ tips have been a source of resilience during what has been a very tough time for everyone. This piqued my interest to explore EQ a bit more and so l signed up for the Unlocking Potential EQ webinar which was a great introduction to really understanding how powerful a tool EQ will be as we try to adjust to our new way of being. The series was really well delivered with just the right amount of detail to be really useful and allowed interaction with others also embarking on the EQ journey. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore emotional intelligence on a personal or business level.

Change is just as much emotional as it is rational. In order for you to move forward, both your head & heart must be in agreement. Emotions drive behaviour, and whilst the emotional side of change is messy and uncomfortable, real change is powered by feelings.

When situations arise, the rational part of the brain processes thoughts about the facts of that situation and those thoughts trigger a response from the emotional part of the brain, which releases chemicals that induce feelings and based on those feelings, we act.

It is said that when the going gets tough the tough get going, and we have really seen this over the last few months. As I have purposed to be one of the tough – the ones who ‘get going’ – I have learned a number of important insights: >> The tough get going – on their own journey >> The tough get going – on the inside first >> The tough get going – and keep going because of their why.

Optimism isn’t blindly hoping for the best. In fact, being “optimistic” in a passive, naïve sense – without real effort – would only get us deeper into trouble. The type of optimism that will help us is this skill of optimism: intentionally practicing an optimistic mindset.
