Course Description

Emotional intelligence, also called EQ, is the ability to be aware of and to manage emotions and relationships. It’s a pivotal factor in personal and professional success. IQ will get you in the door, but it is your EQ, your ability to connect with others and manage the emotions of yourself and others, that will determine how successful you are in life. When we look at the truly extraordinary people who inspire and make a difference you will see that they do this by connecting with people at a personal and emotional level. What differentiated them was not their IQ but their EQ – their emotional intelligence. This one day workshop will focus on the history of emotional intelligence, optimism, personal vision and values, and validating emotions in others. Participants will learn techniques to understand, use, and appreciate the role of emotional intelligence in the workplace.
