'Just writing to say thank you for making a difference to our school and me personally. 12 people started the course but one team left it.'
This was the opening line in a message from a headteacher with whose school Mike had recently spent just one and a half days. It sums up just how powerful the work that Mike is doing with schools really is, work that draws on his years of experience in developing emotional intelligence in students, teachers, school leaders and parents. The success of this work has led Mike to develop the Thrive Programme, a long-term sustainable programme that has been shown through research by University College London to have a powerful effect across the whole school.
For more information on the Thrive Programme please click here.
When it comes to the role of emotions in our lives the research is now backing up the evidence – we are emotional creatures and unless we work to develop our emotional intelligence then our general intelligence counts for very little indeed.
After all your EQ will take you further than your IQ.
Over many years now Mike has been at the forefront of this work, developing and running workshops on emotional intelligence and developing the Thrive Programme, working with primary and secondary schools, independent schools, pupil referral units and special schools. Mike has also worked on the MBA and Doctoral programmes for the Institute of International Educational Leadership at the University of Lincoln. He has delivered keynote addresses at national conferences and worked with local authorities throughout the UK to help them develop an understanding and practical application of emotional intelligence in learning.
Mike has worked nationally and internationally notably in South Africa, India and Botswana.
