EQ Basics: A Practical, Powerful Introduction to Emotional Intelligence

(average customer reviews, last 3 sessions)

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the make-or-break factor in workplace success.  Research has shown that 58% of your job performance is related to how well you understand and manage your own emotions, how effectively you pick up on emotional cues from others, and  how well you use this information to build productive work relationships.

Everyone has the built-in capability to act with a high level of emotional intelligence, it’s just a matter of learning simple tools and techniques then committing to practice “six seconds at a time” until the skills become automatic.

In this introductory course you will learn about the three basic EQ competency areas:  Knowing Yourself (self-awareness), Choosing Yourself (self-management), and Giving Yourself (social awareness, and relationship management).  You'll begin to develop personal guidelines for expressing emotions in a way that will contribute to your success and satisfaction in the workplace. (Note:  Managers and leaders, see the EQ module of the Manager's Academy for the session tailored to your role.)
