“Every brain begins as a female brain, and it becomes male only eight weeks after conception.”

This is science, and from where all differences begin.

The Poetry of Gender Reality Workshop

It, primarily, is about being able to work together as colleagues, partners, siblings, family, or friends and work through the challenges that set us apart. Almost always, dialogues and debates on gender equality take a turn for the worse, where it ends up being one about gender supremacy rendering the whole effort — at driving equality — futile.

This is the case because EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE takes a backseat here. Emotional Intelligence: this coinage is not unheard of. The role, different aspects of emotional intelligence, play is vital to building and fostering positive attitudes and to help make sound decisions in life and career. And now is the time to give poetry a chance: poetry is an important component in aiding with emotional intelligence because poetry, essentially, is seemingly complex or is complex.

Research exploring the importace of emotions at workplace indicates that, in addition to one's cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence plays a role in the success of an individual and that poetry and visual arts can aid in developing emotional intelligence.

This workshop teaches how poetry and the arts can enhance Emotional Quotient (EQ) at the fundamental level. Poetry and visual arts provide a context and background for emotional exploration and help with improving Emotional Intelligence. And from an entrepreneurial perspective, Emotional Intelligence is key to self and social awareness which is fundamental to sound decision making.
