Training Description:

Being able to recognize feelings in oneself and others, managing emotions and balancing thoughts are invaluable traits that are associated with emotional intelligence (EQ).

Emotional intelligence requires skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. Embracing the nuances of human emotion have demonstrated several benefits, particularly at work, such as better collaboration, compassionate leadership, boosted morale and overall, a happier and healthier workplace. Participants will learn that by recognizing the feelings of family members and co-workers, and responding in a balanced, rational way, they can improve relationships and collaborate more effectively. The session also examines new brain research on emotions and the battle between the emotional and the thinking brain.

HOW PARTICIPANTS WILL BENEFIT

• The ability to cope with daily situations and get along in the world includes both cognitive and emotional intelligence.
• The emotional brain impacts behavior.
• An ‘amygdala attack’ of panic reactions results when cognitive thinking stops.
• Calm breathing and focused listening add to EQ.
