Emotional Intelligence for a Changing World
Navigate change.
Help others move through it.
A Four-Part Series on Emotional Intelligence
September – December 2026
Four live, two-hour virtual experiences
Facilitated by Elizabeth Solomon and Romy Alexandra
Our Experience Studio Sessions are designed to help you feel the frameworks — not just learn about them.
This four-part learning journey brings the four domains of emotional intelligence to life through immersive experiences, meaningful conversation, and real-world practice.
This fall, we’ll explore those capacities through one of the defining challenges of leadership today: navigating change.
We’ll explore what happens in you when the ground moves, how to stay adaptive when the path isn’t clear, how to understand what others are experiencing, and how leaders can create the conditions for people to shape what comes next.
Over four sessions, we’ll move from self-awareness → adaptability → systemic awareness → facilitative leadership.
Change doesn't happen because someone announces a new direction.
It happens through people.
Through how we respond to uncertainty. How we make sense of what’s happening. How we listen across different experiences. How we navigate tension. And how we begin to behave differently together.
Emotional intelligence gives us a powerful set of capacities for navigating these moments — in ourselves, with others, and across the systems we’re part of.
Join us for four immersive experiences exploring what emotionally intelligent leadership looks like when the ground is moving.
The Four-Part Journey
Emotional Self-Awareness
Meeting Change
September 15th, 2026
11am - 1pm EST / 17h - 19h CET
Notice what happens when the ground moves.
Before we can lead through change, we have to understand our own relationship to it.
Explore the emotions, assumptions, patterns, and identities that shape how you respond when something familiar begins to shift.
You will:
Build emotional awareness and vocabulary
Recognize your patterns in response to change
Explore what uncertainty activates in you
Understand how your internal state influences those around you
Emotional Regulation
The Messy Middle
October 27th, 2026
11am - 1pm EST / 17h - 19h CET
Stay intentional when the path isn't clear.
Change rarely moves neatly from one state to another. There is often a messy middle — when the old ways no longer quite work and what comes next hasn’t fully emerged.
Explore how to stay grounded, adaptable, and purposeful without needing to have all the answers.
You will:
Practice emotional self-management
Recognize your patterns under stress and uncertainty
Strengthen adaptability
Experiment with staying open when the answer isn't yet clear
Understanding Others
Reading the System
November 12th, 2026
11am - 1pm EST / 17h - 19h CET
See beyond your own experience.
Change looks different depending on where you sit.
Strengthen your ability to understand what others are experiencing while learning to notice the relationships, patterns, power dynamics, and competing realities shaping the larger system.
You will:
Deepen listening and empathy
Practice perspective-taking
Strengthen organizational awareness
Notice dynamics that may be difficult to see from where you sit
Explore what resistance and tension might be telling you
Working With Others
Culture in Motion
December 15th, 2026
11am - 1pm EST / 17h - 19h CET
Shape what becomes possible next.
Culture is continually created through everyday interactions — how we communicate, make decisions, navigate disagreement, respond to mistakes, exercise influence, and work together.
Explore how leaders can move beyond simply directing change toward creating the conditions for people to participate in shaping what comes next.
You will:
Strengthen your ability to influence and inspire
Navigate tension and conflict productively
Build collaboration and shared ownership
Explore how everyday leadership behavior shapes culture
Practice creating conditions for others to contribute and participate
Emotional intelligence you can actually use.
Unlock Embodied Learning
Each session combines creative experiences, reflection, and facilitated dialogue so you don't just understand emotional intelligence — you experience it in action.
Build Capacity
Across four sessions, move from understanding yourself to navigating uncertainty, reading the system around you, and working more skillfully with others.
Practice Facilitative Leadership
Develop the capacity to listen, adapt, work with tension, and create the conditions for others to contribute — essential skills for leading through change.
Learning Beyond the Sessions
Meaningful development happens between sessions.
In addition to our live experiences, participants will receive curated resources, reflection prompts, and practical tools to help integrate the learning into everyday leadership.
You’ll also gain access to a growing collection of articles and thought pieces exploring emotional intelligence, leadership, systems thinking, facilitation, culture, and change.

FAQs
Your questions, answered.
-
Most emotional intelligence programs focus on understanding the competencies. We focus on experiencing them.
At The Experience Studio, we bring evidence-based frameworks to life through immersive activities, reflection, dialogue, and practical application.
This series also places emotional intelligence inside the realities leaders are navigating right now — uncertainty, complexity, organizational change, and culture. Rather than simply learning about EI, you'll practice these capacities in the moments when they matter.
-
While each session can stand on its own, the series is designed as a developmental journey. Each session builds on the one before it, helping participants walk the four domains of emotional intelligence. We strongly encourage attending all four sessions to receive the greatest benefit. In order t ensure psychological safety and vulnerability, sessions are not recorded.
-
Not at all. Emotional intelligence is relevant for anyone who works with people, which is most of us. This series is designed for leaders, managers, coaches, consultants, HR professionals, facilitators, educators, parents, and anyone interested in strengthening their self-awareness, emotional balance, and capacity to collaborate with others.
-
Absolutely. Connection is central to learning. Each session includes opportunities for reflection, discussion, and small-group conversations designed to help participants learn from one another's experiences while building meaningful professional relationships along the way.
-
Because our sessions are highly experiential, are not slide heavy and often involve certain degrees of personal storytelling, we DO NOT RECORD. You will get the follow up email with resources however!
Change is inevitable. How we move through it is not.
Build the emotional intelligence to navigate uncertainty, understand what's happening around you, and help others move forward.
