OVERVIEW
Recent studies indicate that emotional intelligence (EQ) is a powerful tool and key to effective leadership. This program is designed to help you understand how you best contribute to your practice using emotional intelligence as the language to assess your leadership strengths and challenges. By harnessing your EQ, you can lead with greater impact and better manage and drive peak performance from your team. Throughout this interactive workshop, you will gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills you need to ensure that you are a strong, emotionally intelligent leader. Registration includes 12 hours of RACE CE.
PROGRAM DETAILS
The program will run from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, covering the four domains of EQ and specific competencies. Our workshop is highly interactive, including small group exercises, time for reflection, and skill building. Each attendee will receive a workbook to use throughout the weekend along with personal EQ assessment results.
This unique retreat is unlike any other continuing education event and is well suited for those in leadership positions.
