Don't Stoop. Rise.

Attending Teresa Quinlan's "Don't Stoop, Rise" workshop was a transformative experience. Teresa's insights on standing up to those who belittle or demean others, while maintaining high emotional intelligence, were both empowering and practical. She emphasized the importance of using Facts, Objectivity, and Discernment to respond calmly and lead effectively, rather than reacting emotionally. Teresa's approach provided us with actionable strategies to handle challenging situations with grace and confidence. Her emphasis on staying grounded in facts and maintaining objectivity has given me tools that will significantly improve my ability to navigate difficult interactions. I left the workshop feeling more equipped to face adversity and more confident in my ability to lead with integrity. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to enhance their emotional intelligence and leadership skills. Teresa Quinlan's expertise and engaging teaching style make "Don't Stoop, Rise" an invaluable experience.

“Teresa’s ‘Don’t Stoop. Rise.’ the masterclass - was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. It helped me understand how foundational wellbeing is to emotional intelligence and how much more effective all the other tools become when we get that right. I learned to pause, to focus on what’s actually within my power to shift and to stop trying to fix everything at once. I really appreciated Teresa’s warm, layered approach. She breaks things down into manageable pieces so it doesn't feel overwhelming and I never felt pressured to contribute before I was ready. Since the workshop, I’ve applied many of the tools and have already noticed a positive shift in how people respond to me. It was time well spent... and time that’s still paying off.”

I always love your courses so much, Teresa! Taking this course came at a perfect time for me, as I am currently holding our "Quarterly" meetings with therapists, who are expressing a lot of their feelings, things they would like changed, and what is going well. The ability to adjust how I feel and then utilize the facts to go into questions has been really helpful (actually used this in my own life recently as well, to great success). I took about 4 pages of notes in the re-watch of the workshop, which I have reviewed and plan to review again. What really stuck out to me were the iceberg and also the "definitive expectations," that questions within a meeting or interaction will not be about [insert item], but we can have a discussion on how we will achieve [that].
