Emotional Intelligence // Skills Programs

Learning Objectives

This one day program is for business professionals who want to achieve results more efficiently through the application of emotional intelligence. Success hinges on the ability of employees to manage their emotions and respond, not react, to the emotions of others. This program goes beyond “people skills” to boil down the essentials of emotional intelligence to a tangible format that can be applied immediately.

By the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

  • Articulate how feelings, reactions and emotions affect professional relationships
  • Use an approach to work with different personality and communication styles
  • Practice how to avoid overreacting in emotionally charged situations
  • Recognize the role that self-awareness plays in all interactions
  • Identify what “triggers” them and their colleagues to react
  • Explore devices to manage the “triggers”
  • Leverage the results from an assessment to develop an EI plan going forward
