Session Description
Did you know that emotional intelligence is one of the key factors that determines life and job satisfaction? Emotional intelligence, or EI, is the ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others. EI has been hailed as a critical skill for the workplace in 2020 and beyond by The World Economic Forum, the United Nations, McKinsey, Harvard Business Review, and others.
When emotions run high, they change the way our brains function diminishing our cognitive abilities, decision-making powers, and even interpersonal skills. Understanding and managing our emotions (and the emotions of others) helps us to be more successful in both our personal and professional lives.
At a personal level, emotional intelligence helps us:
-
Have uncomfortable conversations without hurting feelings
-
Manage our emotions when stressed or feeling overwhelmed
-
Improve relationships with the people we care about
At work, emotional intelligence can help us:
-
Resolve conflicts
-
Coach and motivate others
-
Create a culture of collaboration
-
Build psychological safety within teams
Learning Objectives
After this session, participants will be able to:
-
Recognize how our emotions impact everything we do
-
Recognize emotions as messengers, delivering important information
-
Understand how emotional granularity and identifying your triggers can help build EI
-
Identify how EI can help with building stronger relationships
