Week 1: Introduction & QTIP
Foundation Setting & Emotional Resilience
9/4
Begin your transformational journey by understanding the complete SEL Muscle framework while diving deep into the first muscle: learning to separate external circumstances from your self-worth. This muscle helps you recognize that others' actions often reflect their own challenges rather than judgments about you, allowing you to respond with clarity instead of reacting from hurt.

Communication & Relationship Building

9/18
Master the art of inquiry-based communication that builds respect, encourages collaboration, and fosters deeper connections. This muscle teaches you when to ask powerful questions versus when to provide clear direction. "Asking" shows respect for others' perspectives and promotes critical thinking. "Telling" provides necessary structure and clarity when appropriate.

Cultivate curiosity as the engine that drives learning, innovation, and personal growth. This muscle is about developing a genuine desire to learn and know more, moving beyond surface-level thinking to ask deeper questions and explore new possibilities. Research shows curiosity enhances memory, improves academic performance, and builds stronger social connections.

Explore the transformative power of taking ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. This muscle focuses on building self-awareness and understanding how your internal narrative shapes your reality. Learn to harness your personal power through intentional self-reflection and purposeful decision-making that aligns with your values rather than external pressures.

Harness storytelling as a powerful tool for building empathy, teaching life lessons, and creating meaningful connections. Learn how stories help us understand different perspectives, process emotions, and share experiences that resonate with others. This muscle strengthens your ability to use narrative to inspire, teach, and build community while helping others make sense of their own experiences.

what makes all it takes different
Founded in 2010, All It Takes has been cultivating trusted spaces where healing and learning happen naturally. Our approach isn't about creating "soft" environments, but rather equipping people with the emotional toolkit to express themselves authentically, navigate challenges with resilience, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Our core belief: Healthy people don't hurt themselves or others. When we develop our emotional intelligence "muscles," we create ripple effects of positive change that extend far beyond ourselves.
