Emotional Intelligence Workshops​

In today’s fast-paced world, understanding and managing emotions—both your own and those of others—has never been more crucial for personal and professional success. Emotional Intelligence has been found to be more important than IQ to success. You may have the book smarts and/or the skills, but can you foster relationships with others, control your triggers, and keep a positive mindset in the midst of challenges? 

 

What makes this workshop unique is the depth and practical application. We start by reviewing the 4 key areas of Emotional Intelligence and gain a full understanding of the concept. Including how it is developed in childhood and more importantly how to build it in adulthood. 

​

Self-Awareness ~ Self-Management ~ Social Awareness ~ Relationship Management

​

Then we delve deeper by looking at aspects the average person doesn’t think of with Emotional Intelligence. Example, the person that replies to the group text in the middle of the night, or the person whose ringer always goes off during church or meetings? You wouldn’t think of that as Emotional Intelligence would you? 

​

  • Develop the ability to have “hard conversations” balancing directness with empathy.

  • Learn to "read the room" and the energy that you bring when you enter a space.

  • Develop and value relationships at all levels - "acquaintances, associates, and friends".

  • Evaluate the "trauma lens" and "emotional hijacking" common with low EI vs a "growth mindset" and "effective decision making" with a high level of EI. 

 

This workshop is perfect for individuals and groups of all levels. Whether you are looking to grow personally, enhance the skills of your team, or support leadership development, this workshop is impactful. Each attendee receives a workbook and copy of the presentation.
