ClearSay provides a flexible structure and emphasizes interactivity based on the idea that learning works best when students enjoy themselves, exercise curiosity, see practical benefits to increased Emotional intelligence (EQ), are presented with clear expectations, and are encouraged to give and receive feedback throughout the process. 

Our curriculum uses a multi-pronged approach. We find that people integrate new concepts best when a methodology is introduced from a combination of different perspectives and modalities. Of course, everyone is different in which perspectives and modalities they prefer. For example:

 

Abstraction. Some tend to think in the abstract (general, idealistic, mediated) while others prefer concrete (specific, pragmatic, direct).

 

Learning modalities. Some are more visually oriented, while others are more auditory or kinesthetic. We have found that providing a mix of these ways of training provides enough distinct "angles of view" so students can easily form a clear picture and integrate Emotional Intelligence Tools into their daily lives. 

Movement. We will also incorporate a minor amount of easy movements into the training, to help anchor lessons from a "body learning" (kinesthetic) perspective.

 

Throughout the training, attendees will be asked to get into groups of 2, 3, and 4 (depending on the exercise and group size), and given verbal exercises. Finally, some repetition will be used to ensure critical points are understood.

Integrity. While most of the lessons and exercises will be focused on students using Emotional Intelligence Tools in their roles in your organization, it will quickly become apparent that these tools apply easily to all kinds of relationships, including friendship, romantic love, and parenting. Recognition of this practical value and integrity will increase attendee motivation to practice Emotional Intelligence Tools long after the class is over. 

Measurable results. [optional] Students will be given an EQ test before and after the training to help determine progress and show measurable results. Clear goals will be communicated at the beginning of the class and "checked off" as the training progresses. Note regarding the EQ test: a test will be given before the class and after, and a comparison provided to each individual attendee and to company leadership, showing progress for each person, as well as group progress.
