Emotional Intelligence for Developers
A practical, developer-focused course to help you understand your emotions, handle challenges calmly, and build stronger relationships at work.
A Quick Intro
Hi, I’m Natalie, a Senior Consultant at Thoughtworks and an Emotional Intelligence Coach for developers.
Over the years, I’ve seen how technical skills can take you far, but it’s emotional intelligence that shapes how we lead, collaborate, and thrive in teams.
I created this course to help developers like you navigate tricky conversations, stay calm under pressure, and build the kind of work relationships that actually feel good — not forced.
