In this one-day seminar, participants will gain the skills to insure they become strong, emotionally intelligent leaders. 

Emotional Intelligence is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, and for motivating and managing emotions effectively in ourselves and others.  Emotional competence is a learned capacity that contributes to effective performance in all aspects of life.  Research has shown that "EI" is an important predictor of success.  Studies indicate that emotional intelligence (EI) or emotional quotient (EQ) accounts for 15% to 45% of an individual's success on the job.   

In this one-day seminar, participants will gain the skills to insure they become strong, emotionally intelligent leaders.  They will develop the ability to recognize and positively manage emotions in themselves, in others, and in groups.  Participants will also explore cutting-edge developments in leadership theory and practices that will enable them to apply emotional intelligence to specific leadership situations.

Why attend this workshop:

Research indicates that one’s Emotional Intelligence may be a better indicator of potential success than IQ.   The good news is that, unlike your IQ, your Emotional Intelligence can be improved.   This workshop is directed at improving your Emotional Intelligence.  

 

Emotional Intelligence is used to drive one’s own emotions in a positive direction, as well as to react appropriately to the emotions of others.   Think about a typical bad day – you more than likely encountered one or more people who pushed your frustration buttons.   Improving your Emotional Intelligence decreases the button pushing likelihood because you stay in control of your own emotions, which usually has a positive effect on the emotions of others.   In the workplace, not only does using the skills that we teach in this workshop reduce conflict, these behaviors can also increase communication and problem solving skills.  


Now, Emotional Intelligence doesn’t mean being nice all the time.  It does mean being honest in a tactful way.   It doesn’t mean being touchy-feely to everyone you come in contact with but it does help you be aware of your feelings and those of others.  It does not mean being emotional but it does mean using your emotions wisely.
