Helping Men, Students, & Athletes master Emotional Intelligence | Founder of The Real EI Playbook Workshop
Pressure doesn’t skip any of us. Young or grown, you’re going to face moments that test you. The question is, will you fold, or will you focus? Most of us were never taught how to handle emotions, so we react in ways that hurt us and the people around us.

Emotional intelligence starts with noticing patterns.

What keeps triggering you?
What keeps draining you?

There’s information there.

Self-awareness without discipline feels honest.

Discipline without awareness feels harsh.

Emotional intelligence teaches you to hold both.

We talk strength, but rarely emotional strength and emotional intelligence.

There’s a formula:
Self-awareness. Emotional control. Vulnerability. Consistency.

Miss one; and the formula breaks.

Men need all four to grow, lead, and win.

We keep talking about mental health.
But we rarely talk about the emotional skills men need before they break.

This work exists to close that gap.

Emotional intelligence isn’t soft; it’s survival.

This is the playbook we never received.
