Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace

Think of Emotional Intelligence as "a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way." While emotional intelligence isn’t the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is also not a static factor — to the contrary, one’s emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas. During the workshop, you will learn how to improve your self-awareness, self-management and social awareness, all of which will have a positive impact on your work performance.
