DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Developing Emotional Intelligence is designed to equip individuals with the essential skills and knowledge to enhance their emotional intelligence through leadership and on their teams. Through an interactive program, participants will learn to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions effectively, as well as develop empathy and build strong relationships with others.

Without strong and effective relationships, our fast-paced, team-based work environments can’t function at peak efficiency and health. At the heart of this efficiency are Emotional Intelligence (EQ) competencies that drive strong workplace relationships and greater productivity. Today we view EQ as an integrated set of skills that underpin highly effective, engaged and innovative organizations.

This course covers various aspects of emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Participants will engage in interactive exercises, case studies, and practical scenarios to apply these concepts in real-life situations. They will also learn strategies to improve their communication, conflict resolution, and leadership abilities.
