“The EQ Café is a lovely way to interact with like minded professionals. My first encounter was pure joy as there is just enough content to teach new info & the facilitation is nothing short of brilliant. We had time for growing & being vulnerable with our own personal situations. Great space for psychological safety and stretching my learning muscles.”
