Self-esteem and self-respect are life changers

Without them nobody gets a fair chance


At E.I.S.A.F we have one goal… To support and equip every young person to develop their own self-esteem and self-respect…

…which happen to be the bedrock of EQ*

The EQ journey starts with understanding and believing in yourself •Self-awareness•Self-belief•Self-esteem•Self-respect•Self-confidence •Self-motivation


Self-awareness leads to social-awareness•Communication•Understanding•Respect•Trust•Collaboration •Growth


Meaning that developing EQ…

…is the quickest way to improve learning and results


But talking about it is one thing

Doing it is another!
