Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your emotions. It also helps you effectively adapt your behaviors to create positive and constructive relationships with others. Emotional intelligence is an important characteristic for anyone at any level of an organization. However, it is even more critical at the leadership level. Leaders with high EI have solid self-awareness about the link between their behaviors and how it makes others feel and perform. A leader’s emotional intelligence can have far-reaching influence over their relationships. In addition, it can influence how they manage their teams and the results produced in the workplace. Emotionally intelligent leaders lead by example and are more effective problem solvers. They communicate more effectively, make better decisions, and create better relationships with their team members. Additionally, they achieve career and personal goals in a shorter amount of time while better engaging and motivating those around them.
In this instructor-led program, learners explore the importance and impact of emotional intelligence on interpersonal relationships, team dynamics, and performance. Learners also explore their own emotional intelligence skills and apply practical skills and frameworks to increase emotional intelligence and improve communication and collaboration at the team and individual levels. It is ideal for organizations that want to increase practical professional skills, as well as anyone who wants to increase their effectiveness and impact with peers, superiors, and colleagues.
This program is available as an onsite program in half or full day durations, or virtually as one or two 60-90-minute sessions.

This program features the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0®), one of the first scientifically validated and one of the most widely used emotional intelligence instruments in the world. Based on more than 20 years of research worldwide, the EQ-i 2.0® examines an individual’s social and emotional strengths and weaknesses. Respondents self-report on their life and workplace performance in 15 key areas of emotional skill. These skills contribute to proficiency in complex business activities such as conflict resolution and planning. The assessment is a way for leaders to benchmark their strengths and areas of opportunity as they understand their current state of emotional intelligence competencies and how they may be impacting relationships and results. The reports are then used in the subsequent workshop as a foundational benchmark to begin building increased EI capabilities.
