Emotional Intelligence for Leaders

Emotional Intelligence for Leaders

This workshop is designed to equip leaders with the practical skills and tools they need to demonstrate Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in their day-to-day roles and responsibilities.

Overview

By understanding and being able to manage their own emotions, they will be equipped to recognise different emotional states in others and manage working relationships more effectively. The workshop is focused on translating theory into practice so that EQ is no longer a “buzzword” but rather a skill that participants can use and develop.

Objectives

By the end of this workshop, delegates should be able to:

• Describe what ‘Emotional Quotient’ is and how this applies to their leadership role.

• Use empathy and EQ skills when leading teams in order to build trust.

• Identify their individual EQ strengths and development areas and have an action plan to implement improvements post-workshop.

• Use simple workplace tools to overcome their individual preconceived mindsets, perceptions, and biases.

Pre-work
