your worries, stress and frustrations

FIND

greater life satisfaction and success

Welcome!

My name is Bernie Schreck.

If you are looking for better ways to cope with the challenges of modern life, or simply to become more effective in your life, you are in the right place!

I created Mindfulness-based Emotional Intelligence Development (MBEID) to help you exactly with this.

Inner development is my greatest passion in life. MBEID brings together the best of the world's top mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence programs.

It shares with you what I have learned and practiced for over 35 years. Skills that helped me find greater life satisfaction and success. And it is based on my over 30 years experience guiding others.

More and more people are experiencing feeling stressed, anxious, or frustrated in their lives. Many are unsatisfied and struggling to find a sense of purpose. Or simply feel out of balance. If this is you, be assured that you are not alone. I know these challenges from my own experience very well, too.

We all seek a happy and satisfied life. It is something we all deserve, but in spite of all our efforts, it often eludes us. Do you wonder why?

Without question, this can have many reasons and is very individual. But surely, one reason is that our fast changing world demands new abilities. And the problem is that we did not learn them when we grew up.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) can provide you with the missing manual to develop these abilities.

The good news is that we all already have them to some extent. We only need to awaken and strengthen them. This is something everyone can do! It just requires training.

Are you curious how developed your Emotional Intelligence is?

The Challenge of Change

After over 35 years of training in inner skills myself, and over 30 years teaching others, I can tell you this:

Change is not easy! But it is possible.

That’s why I founded MBEID.

To provide all the support you need to bring about lasting positive changes.

MBEID brings together the best of the world’s top mindfulness and EI trainings. I strongly believe that EI training is the best investment you can make in your life.

It is for people who know there are no quick fixes.

Who are seeking a deeper sense of connection with themselves. And a stronger inner confidence in their ability to navigate the ups and downs of life.

And who are motivated to change. Willing to look at themselves honestly. And are willing to do the work.

“Emotional Intelligence has proven the key skill set for leadership, teamwork, sales and client management – anything where people are crucial.”

— Dr. Daniel Goleman
The Pioneer of EI

What is EI?

Emotions are very important. They guide our choices and decision. And they are an important aspect of our experience. Think about it: happiness and life satisfaction are both things we feel. And their opposites are too!

That's why increasing your emotional intelligence can help you tremendously in your life.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) was pioneered by Dr. Daniel Goleman in his 1998 book Emotional Intelligence: Why it can matter more than IQ.

The Goleman EI model is based on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology. And on business research on what makes people successful and effective.

The EI model is very elegant. It has great depth. Yet it is based on two simple principles. 

Principle One: Understand

EI helps you develop greater self-awareness. So you can better understand how your emotions work.

Principle Two: Manage

EI training grows your skills to better manage your emotions. 

These two principles not only apply to yourself, but also others. In EI training, you also learn to understand other's emotions better. And to better manage your relationships.

The Result: Find Greater Life Satisfaction and Success

Training in EI can help you better navigate the ups and downs of life with more ease and clarity. And thereby find something of great value: greater life satisfaction and success!

If you develop confidence in your EI skills, it can give you a deep sense of inner strength and security in your life.

And as you keep perfecting these skills, you find more and more trust in your ability to face whatever life may throw in your way.

THE MBEID LEARNING PATH

Here is how the training works,
step-by-step:

Introduction to Emotional Intelligence Training
A 4-day Email Course

read more ...

The MBEID approach is practice oriented and experiential. We keep theory to a minimum. But, before you start training, you need to understand how EI training works. Over 4-days, this email course teaches you all you need to know to get started. It will guide you to make your first mini EI Profile. The course also includes reflections and exercises. They will help you immediately apply what you learn to yourself and your life.

Read more about the Intro to EI course here.

 

Your EI Profile
A 3-Part Self-assessment Process

read more ...

Before you start the actual training, you need to have an honest look at yourself. You need to see where you are and reflect about where you want to be. This module includes three parts:

1) Your Emotional Intelligence Profile

The MBEID EI Profile goes into much more depth than the mini EI Profile of the intro course. It guides you through a process of self-reflection. To help you even better understand your level of emotional intelligence and your development potential.

2) Your Personal Sustainability Assessment

Here, you investigate how sustainably you live. Whether you are maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. And to look for warning signs of burn-out.

3) Envisioning Your Ideal Life Process

This module will guide you to reflect on your values and what is important to you. You will be guided to articulate your life vision. And you will reflect on what you would like to change in your life.

These three self-assessments, take 30–60 minutes each, and are best spread out over four days
