Emotional intelligence is a critical factor that sets star performers apart from the rest of the pack.

Emotional intelligence affects how we manage behavior, navigate social complexities, and make personal decisions that achieve positive results.

Emotional intelligence is a flexible set of skills that can be acquired and improved with practice. Although some people are naturally more emotionally intelligent than others, you can develop high emotional intelligence even if you aren't born with it.

Your emotional intelligence is the foundation for a host of critical skills- it impacts most everything you say and do each day.

Emotional intelligence is one of the single biggest predictors of performance in the workplace and a strong driver of leadership and personal excellence.

What are the factors that keep some people smart when under stress? This workshop delves into the emotional intelligence that we possess. Core topics include the following:

• Self Awareness: Your ability to accurately perceive your own emotions and stay aware of them as they happen.

• Self Management: Your ability to use awareness of your emotions to stay flexible and positively direct your behavior.

• Social Awareness: Your ability to accurately pick up on emotions in other people and get what is really going on.

• Relationship Management: Your ability to use your awareness of your emotions and the emotions of others to manage interactions successfully.

As leaders develop emotional intelligence strategies, emotionally intelligent behaviors become a habit.
