This webinar is designed to help early education teams build emotional intelligence to move from simply managing people to genuine human connection. When educators can read the room, regulate their own emotions, and respond with empathy, they create a culture that feels safe, calm, and connected. That doesn’t just make the day run smoother, it sets children up with the kind of foundation that lasts well beyond their early years. Families notice it. Colleagues feel it. Children thrive in it.

Presented By

Webinar Duration

Approximately 60 minutes

Skill Level

Suitable for beginner to experienced managers

What will you learn?

Early education isn’t just about teaching numbers, letters, or routines. It’s about shaping the way children see themselves and others in the world. To do that well, the adults in the room need more than technical skills, they need emotional intelligence.

This is not another program to add to the list, it’s about weaving emotional intelligence into the way we show up every day. That’s how we create teams who not only teach, but also transform the way children experience learning and belonging.

About the presenter

Dylan Sulzer

Founder | Emotional Intelligence Educator
Not Just A Teacher Education

For over a decade, I've worked across primary, secondary and inclusive education settings-supporting students with complex needs, leading wellbeing initiatives and mentoring educators and school leaders. That journey has taken me through mainstream classrooms, specialist behaviour support roles, middle leadership and whole-school capacity-building projects. 

What I've learned along the way is that emotional intelligence isn't something extra we add on top of our jobs. It's the foundation that helps everything else work. It determines how we manage conflict, build trust, handle pressure and genuinely connect with the people around us. I've seen firsthand how schools shift when staff feel emotionally safe, when students understand their triggers and when conversations around behaviour start with curiosity instead of consequence. 

My interest in emotional intelligence is deeply personal. I’ve lived with trauma and its effects since I was young, which has shaped me into the person I am today. It taught me early on that our inner world powerfully shapes the way we show up in the world around us. That insight has shaped the way I teach, lead, coach and create. It's what led me to build Not Just A Teacher Education, where I now work with schools, early learning centres, families and organisations to embed practical emotional intelligence into everyday practice. I do what AI can't and that's be human. Whether it's working with leadership teams, educators or students through our student identity program: My Brand, our work is grounded in neurology, real-life challenges, language people actually use and tools that can be picked up and used the very next day.

What others said about this webinar:

I love this webinar. Being a leader in the under 2's room, this guided me to be a good role model to my team and to create an emotionally intelligent kaiako environment.

I really enjoyed this webinar and will be researching further information from Dylan's website. I have learnt some strategies to help how I feel and respond in a stressful situation, and I can see this being really helpful to my teachers and will be suggesting they all watch it. 
— HAYLEY
It teaches us that an emotionally intelligent ECE team creates a caring, respectful, and supportive environment for children, families, and educators. It helps teachers build positive relationships, manage challenges calmly, and work collaboratively with others. When educators model empathy and emotional awareness, children also learn important social and emotional skills for life.
