Emotional Intelligence
Course Purpose Today’s fast pace and high rate of change require different skills for survival and success. Higher stress levels require better handling abilities. Mentoring relationships are particularly essential in times like these. Expertise in a particular field plays a lesser role, while internal qualities like resilience, initiative, optimism, and adaptability are taking on new value. The purpose of this course is to acquaint the participants with the principles of emotional intelligence, help them to assess their own abilities, and guide them to heightened awareness of ways to grow in these abilities. BackgroundThe rules are changing. Success used to be measured by what we knew, or how smart we were. But today it’s how we handle ourselves and our relationships. These are the thoughts of Daniel Goleman, Harvard researcher and author of the best-selling book, Emotional Intelligence, published by Bantam in the late 90’s. Contrasted with the traditional Intelligence Quotient (IQ) emotional intelligence is largely learned and continues to develop as we go through life, learning from our experiences.

Difficult Conversations
Course PurposeAny conversation that causes us to plan, rehearse, lose sleep, develop another plan, and so on, has the potential to be difficult. A bad situation can go to worse in no time.

This workshop will prepare participants to be more effective in their work and personal relationships. BackgroundWhatever your job requires, you likely have to communicate with others.
