Successful leaders have a clear understanding of how their emotions guide thinking and behavior.  Being aware of these emotions, or being emotionally intelligent, helps us decide who we want to be by allowing us to decide how we "show up."

 

This workshop provides a brief overview of the science behind emotional intelligence theory that will allow participants to develop an effective level of emotional self-awareness. Emotional self-awareness is an essential tool for managing emotions and relating to others. Interactive exercises will afford attendees the opportunity to practice personal and social competencies that will ensure successful relationships in professional, social, and personal settings.

As a participant in this Emotional Intelligence Workshop, you will:


-- Learn the basic tenets of emotional intelligence theory
-- Become more aware of how your emotions influence      behaviors and how you relate to others
-- Gain an understanding of how to manage emotions to    successfully manage relationships
-- Become a more effective manager and leader by          acquiring tools to understand the emotions of others
​-- Be able to employ your emotional intelligence toolkit      to manage conflict within your organization
-- Build more successful relationships by gaining the        ability to be more self-aware of your emotions
