Emotional Intelligence is the foundation of all relationships, communication, performance, and motivation. Once we have the ability to make others around us feel good, then we can start building the kind of relationships that allow for an increased level of communication and understanding.
The aim of this course is to help you to navigate and engage with the core components of emotional intelligence in an autism friendly and sensitive environment. That's why the course is self paced and contains a wide variety of multi modal content, including videos, written articles, flow charts, analogies, and other mental models to help you engage with the content and engage with it in the way you learn best.
This course includes
What you will learn
✓ Recognise your own emotions, as they happen
✓ Communicate your emotions clearly to others
✓ Emotional regulation strategies
✓ Manage stress, anxiety, anger, and frustration
✓ Increase your patience and resilience
✓ Read the emotional messages of others
✓ Manage conflict with assertive confidence
✓ Model good social and emotional skills for your children
How does the course work?
The structure of the course focuses on the four quadrants of Emotional Intelligence, with each week building on the skills learned in the previous week.
Each week you will receive three self-paced lessons in both PDF and video format. Each lesson also contains activities for you to practice your skills and a list of additional resources for further study (e.g. books, online articles, TED talks).
Personalised Help: (UPGRADE)

Whether it's in relationships, self-confidence, social skills, or any number of other key life areas, we'll find your personal motivation and leverage the skills you already have to ensure you have concrete steps towards measurable progress.

WARNING: This may be the start of a life-changing journey!
"When I first signed up to this course I was curious and hopeful. I felt that a tertiary education in psych and social anthropology, combined with 3 decades of social interaction had already given me a brilliant theoretical understanding of EQ and I was unsure there was much more to learn.
I was wrong. The course was centered on lived experience and in those 4 weeks I learned a great deal which complemented my existing theoretical knowledge."

Course Description
Lesson One: Emotional Intelligence
In this first lesson, we introduce and define what we mean by emotional intelligence and take a look at some of the most popular and easily accessible works on the subject to date.
Lesson Two: Self Awareness
This lesson looks at what emotions are and how we can become aware of them.
Lesson Three: Building Self Awareness
This lesson focuses on becoming aware of the sensations in our bodies and learning to associate and name those sensations as emotions. Learning some basics of how the brain works helps us to understand why emotional self awareness is not automatic.
Lesson Four: How Emotions Work
The last lesson focused on becoming aware of our emotions. We learned that emotions are physiological states in our body. This lesson will look at how emotions work, specifically for the purpose of making them work for us, not against us.
Lesson Five: Conscious Influence
This lesson expands on the emotional feedback flowchart to examine what influence we can have over automatic responses.
Lesson Six: Emotional Self-Management
This lesson outlines practical steps and strategies to handle emotions. Trying to control our emotions using brute force (or sheer determination) doesn’t work. Drawing from what we have learned in previous lessons, we explore smarter, more effective, and longer lasting strategies to manage our emotions.
Lesson Seven: Empathy
We’ve learned how emotions work in our own bodies. Now it’s time to apply that same learning to the emotions of others. Emotions are what allow for human connection. This lesson will explore what empathy is and how to increase it. Later in the week we will look at strategies to read emotions from words and body language. With practice, it is possible to learn to read the emotions of others and use this information to create lasting relationships.
Lesson Eight: Body Language
Today’s lesson is about learning to read body language. Remembering that emotions are felt in our bodies, they often express themselves in our bodies too. Therefore paying attention to faces, gestures, and postures is a rich source of information about what another person might be feeling.
Lesson Nine: Emotional Language
Today’s lesson is about learning to hear the emotions expressed in people’s words. Very often the words we choose contain clues as to how we feel, but remember that the emotional brain evolved before language. Therefore, when we speak, the emotional message is often carried in an indirect way. Listening for the emotional message behind words is a powerful way of discovering how a person
Lesson Ten: Bringing it all Together
This lesson is the pinnacle of the whole course. Everything we’ve learned so far has been building to this point. This lesson brings it all together and explores how to use the previous three skill areas (self-awareness, self-management, and social-awareness) to effectively manage relationships with others. We will also look at one simple technique to help stay on top of emotional situations.
Lesson Eleven: Redirecting Emotions
In the last lesson we learned how to create an emotional connection. This lesson explores what to do with that connection once it is established. Emotional energy needs a place to go. The goal of helping another person manage their emotions is to provide an appropriate outlet for those emotions.
Lesson Twelve: Building Trust
Trust is the bedrock of relationships. In our final lesson we examine how trust is built and deepened one small interaction at a time. Trust is based on the confidence we have in predicting how another person will behave. As we get to know each other we become more predictable and therefore also more reliable and trustworthy.
How Does it Work?
We didn’t write another textbook. It’s all about straightforward responses to common practical questions.
Our resources are short, digestible, and bite-sized, answering very specific every-day questions. Not just general advice, but first-hand insight from someone who's actually been there that will empower you with the understanding and know-how to implement effective solutions in your own situation.

Why Buy Your Course If I Can Research On The Internet?
Sure, the internet is a wealth of information. But as you may have found out already, not all of it is accurate or useful. In fact, some of it is outdated and just plain wrong. With this course, you’ll get concise, accurate, pocket-sized, digestible information that you can listen to while cooking, cleaning or driving! You’ll save hours of time trying to find things out for yourself. Your feelings of overwhelm will be a thing of the past. You’ll get immediate effective help to lessen the burden. You’ll be comforted by the fact that you’re doing everything you can. Plus, most important of all, this course includes significant information that is not to be found anywhere on the internet. It’s the first of its kind, developed with the diligence, accuracy and depth of an autistic special interest!
What do our past students say about EQ 101?
"The Emotional Intelligence course offered by Aspergers From the Inside's Paul Micallef is extremely well done. Paul has organized the material in an easily understandable way and presents it in an articulate but informal manner, which is designed to make all participants comfortable to give feedback and ask questions as the course proceeds. I would recommend this course without reservation for anyone who needs some help in identifying and expressing their feelings and learning how to manage them for optimal social interactions. Paul has made excellent use of additional resources throughout the lessons and they are valuable contributions to the content. I hope he will continue to develop this coursework so that all areas can be expanded to include any areas his students would find beneficial. Although the course was developed for those with Aspergers , it would benefit anyone who has difficulty with emotions and their management. I wish him the best- he's very good at this!"

“As an individual on the autism spectrum, I signed up to Paul's workshop in hope of improving my emotional regulation and intelligence and relationships. Each lesson provided interesting, dynamic and invaluable information which has provided me with a greater ability to understand my own emotions, develop greater empathy and respect for others and equipped me with effective tools to continue developing these skills in the future. Paul was gracious, kind, honest and patient. The course was immensely helpful and I hope that others will benefit as I did from the course in the future. Thank you again Paul and keep up the great work”
