Overview
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize and manage your own emotions, read other people's emotions and respond well, and form strong working relationships. This 60-minute emotional intelligence training is an introduction to the field.
Greater self-awareness supports productivity and job satisfaction, and can improve communication, empathy and rapport with colleagues. You'll learn what an emotion is, how emotional hijacking happens and how to spot the triggers that set you off.
Through practical applications, the session covers self-management, optimism, managing anger, self-motivation, empathic communication, group interactions and positive listening.
Why attend: EI skills help you and your team handle difficult situations. Emotionally intelligent people are self-aware and alert to verbal and non-verbal signals, which makes them better communicators and relationship builders. EI applies to anyone in any setting, and it has been shown to matter even more than IQ for success. The session suits anyone who wants stronger business relationships through better self-awareness and emotional management.
