Emotional Intelligence at Work – an introduction
Emotional intelligence is critical to your success and to that of your organization. In today’s workplace, relying only on your intellectual skills and technical competence is not sufficient; you need people-skills to excel. Emotional intelligence is defined 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”. MHS 2011
Workshop Focus
The workshop is designed to provide a basic understanding of what emotional intelligence is; why it is important for you and for your organization(s), how to improve it and apply it in the workplace. It is one day of experiential activities, networking, learning and laughter. This workshop aims to facilitate self-discovery, the understanding of emotions and the part they play in our lives. It will provide you with an opportunity to deepen your understanding of yourself and how you relate to others.
