Developing Your Emotional Intelligence

Overview

Without strong and effective relationships in business, today’s fast-paced, team-based and global work environments can’t function with peak efficiency. Maximum results will not be achieved. Emotional Intelligence (EI) competencies are at the heart of effective workplace relationships and productivity. Today we use EI as an integrated set of skills that underpin highly effective, fast-reacting and innovative organizations.

This emotional intelligence seminar emphasizes the practical application of EI concepts rather than just focusing on theory.
