Leveraging Emotional Intelligence to Enhance Your Career

Some technically skilled people stall in their careers while others with weaker technical skills keep getting promoted. Emotional intelligence is often the hidden reason. Experts agree it is the most significant factor in predicting performance, yet most people don't know what it is or how to build it.

This 60-minute emotional intelligence training separates myths from reality. You'll review the mixed, trait and ability models, a working definition of emotional intelligence and how emotions affect decision making. The session covers the four components, self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management, including developing others, influence, change, conflict management and teamwork.

You'll also learn emotion management and self-reflection techniques and tools for building self-awareness and mindfulness.
