"A very worthwhile course to take. It contains quizzes and activities to help solidify the processes being taught. It doesn't just look at how to solve problems. Students are provided with the background to what is involved in decision making, the physical, mental and emotional inputs that must be considered too."

Robin Hills is the founder of Ei4Change and a recognised authority in emotional intelligence, with more than 45 years of experience as a business psychologist, trainer, and facilitator.

Emotional intelligence is not one topic among many in his work. It is the central focus. His teaching is built on a clear principle: emotional intelligence only matters when it is applied in real situations that shape decisions, relationships, and performance.

Through Ei4Change, Robin has developed one of the most established global platforms for emotional intelligence learning and development. His courses have reached over 600,000 learners across more than 200 countries, spanning a wide range of roles, industries, and levels of experience.

His approach is grounded in psychological research and informed by practical experience. Rather than offering quick fixes or surface level insight, he focuses on helping people think clearly under pressure, handle difficult situations, and make better decisions in the moment.

Robin's work reflects the reality that emotional intelligence is not about feeling good. It is about understanding what is happening within yourself and with others, and responding in a way that improves outcomes.
