Designed for people wishing to develop and enhance their skills in communication and Emotional Intelligence (EI)The Course &amp; EIEmotional Intelligence (EI) has been widely promoted in the press, trade journals and scientific literature. Most people have heard the claims by writers such as Daniel Goleman, who stated &lsquo;it matters twice as much as IQ&rsquo; (Goleman, 1998) or that EI and good communication skills are &lsquo;positively related&rsquo; (Erig&uuml;&ccedil; &amp; K&ouml;se, 2013). A meta‐analysis, also published in 2010, found a positive and significant correlation with job performance (O&rsquo;Boyle et al, 2010).It has also been strongly argued that EI can improve sales, communication and improve leadership and work‐performance (Pratt et al, 2003).EI is about being aware of emotions in yourself and others, and being able to manage those emotions.This course will cover topics such as; Understanding your personality style, giving feedback to others, dealing with &lsquo;difficult&rsquo; people, removing the barriers to communication, cross‐cultural communication and the science of body‐language.<hr fr-original-style="" style="border-color: var(--border-muted); border-style: solid; clear: both; break-after: page; user-select: none; box-sizing: border-box;">Course Objectives<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Develop and identify EI competencies</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">List barriers to effective communication</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understand how to motivate self and others</li></ul>The Course<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">EI Competencies</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Understanding your personality</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Improving your EI Competence</li><li id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Improving your communication skills</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The science of Body‐Language</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Ways to improve your EI</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Working on Your EI</li></ul>

The course will introduce you to some of the most enduring photographic portraits and provide discussion on why they remain so seminal. The course includes an introduction to lighting and composition techniques for portraiture, as well as providing guidance on shutter speed, aperture, lenses, and other visual controls.You will use studio flash lighting to explore basic techniques in formal and informal portrait photography &ndash; though all of the techniques taught are transferrable to natural and other lighting media. There will be time for participants to photograph under three standard lighting set-ups.Some digital SLR photography experience is recommended.Morning The morning session centres on discussion of the work of some classic portrait photographers and standard techniques employed. The discussions will include elements of composition, pose, gesture, format and technique.Afternoon The afternoon session will cover practical studio lighting, standard lighting set-ups, direction of sitters, and time permitting also a brief introduction to some of the editing capabilities of Adobe Photoshop.Project Days are designed for those who are already familiar with digital photography processes but who want to pursue a particular aspect or develop more specific skills in one or more areas. This course is the perfect follow-on from our Digital SLR training courses and will support you in building upon your existing knowledge of DSLR camera skills and becoming a better photographer in general.

Please check that you are able to attend all of the group sessions before you apply.The daily prayer can be done at any time that suits you but, if you don&#39;t already have a 30-45 minute window of time devoted to prayer each day, do take some time to think about when you might fit it in, for example: will you wake up earlier? Will you do it at lunch time? in the evening? How realistic is this? &nbsp;Is there a place in your house where you could sit to pray? Will&nbsp;those you share space with will be able to respect your commitment to the retreat? This won&#39;t be for everyone, but for those who are drawn to take part in this prayer experience, I have no doubt that it will be a positive and enriching time. I am really looking forward to sharing this space with you.&nbsp;
