Working with Vijay Kumar as my coach was a game changer. His knack for cutting through complexity brought me clarity when I was stuck, helping me see the path forward with fresh eyes. What I appreciated most was how he gave me space to reflect, gently guiding me to uncover my own solutions. His empathetic style and sharp insights, I’d recommend him to anyone looking to find focus and make real progress.

Leadership
At EQ World UK, we focus on helping people and organisations access deeper self-mastery, improve emotional agility, and lead from within. While emotional intelligence is often treated as a concept, our work is experiential, applied, and transformational.
Our specialisation lies in:
-
Designing emotionally intelligent workplaces that thrive on trust, resilience, and clarity
-
Enabling individuals to rewire emotional patterns and unlock their full potential
-
Equipping leaders and coaches to catalyse change in others using proven EQ frameworks
Our programs don’t just inform — they shift behaviours. They don't stop at insight — they activate change.
