As the pace of organizational change continues to accelerate, the importance of emotional intelligence increases with it. Driven by competition, innovation, increased globalization and rapid technological change, leaders, managers and staff, now more than ever, must employ emotional intelligence to get the best from their people.

Center for Creative Leadership studies show that leaders with a high level of self-awareness significantly outperform all others. As a matter of fact, the competencies of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills have been found to be far more important than ever realized in staff at all levels.

In this talk, we will review the five components of EI, take a self-assessment on them, and learn the 4 keys to improving emotional intelligence at work. You will also learn how to manage an “amygdala hijack” in yourself and others.

Session Goals

(1)   Gain a working knowledge of EI competencies

(2)   Learn about key EI research studies

(3)   Assess your EI skills

(4)   Learn the 4 key actions to improve your and others’ emotional intelligence at work
