About Jono:

Hi, I'm Jono Elliot, an award-winning MSc of Business Psychology and Founder of Team Improvus - my mission is to help you improve.

Before I began learning about Emotional Intelligence, I knew a maximum of 10 emotions; often I was unaware of what was going on within me and I was definitely unable to express my emotions to others! Knowing my emotions is helping me build the life I want; it ignites my motivations, strengthens my relationships and provides me with the confidence to be myself. I am still on the journey (it never stops!) but I am eager to share the tools I use with you!

Who is this event for?

• If you are looking to glean an introduction to Emotional Intelligence.

• If you are eager to learn more about yourself and understand tools to support that journey.

• If you are trying to find direction.

• If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

• If you want to have some fun.

What previous attendees have said about Jono’s workshops!

“Interactive, engaging and educational. All the things you want a seminar like this to be.”

“Overall fantastic experience, great content and I’m hungry for more!”

“I’d come across emotional intelligence before but had never seen much value in the idea. Jono’s workshop changed all that. It gave me a phenomenally good overview of emotional intelligence and some great, practical tools for applying those insights to my everyday life that I have already started to use. Jono was great fun as a facilitator, he instilled the session with a huge amount of enthusiasm and joy, and I loved being a part of it.”

Excellent, meaningful exercises! I left feeling very confident in steps I can continue to take to make EI work for me.”

Short Emotion Stories to get you thinking ...

'It was one of those perfect autumn days. I was out walking on the Heath, thinking about the meeting I had just had … I had come out with mixed emotions. One side of me was encouraged and bolstered by their confidence in me, but I had this knot in my shoulders that was screaming nervous uncertainty. I shrugged my shoulders, rolled my neck. I moved my head left to right and that is when I noticed her. I am in awe, what do I do now? …'

'Frustrated, I stared at my blank screen. How long had I been in this position, urging my creative juices to flow. If only it was as easy as turning on a tap! Yet, here I am - deadline looming, and still only the inkling of a concept. I have been here before, I know I can do this … but it has been so different since they left. All the ups and downs. Sometimes I am over the moon, finally free! And yet. And yet, I miss them ...'

Giggling, I looked up! What a day :) what a day! Not a cloud in the sky. Sunshine in my right hand, joy in my left. How am I so lucky!! My imagination couldn’t be better than this reality. Is this even reality or is this a dream? I caught a glint of something out of the corner of my eye … more, impossible! This day can’t get any better, can it?

Wishing you billowing laughter and sweet sunshine!
