Developing Emotional Intelligence for Leadership Workshop on 7 & 8 August 2017

Developing Emotional Intelligence for Leadership Training


Emotional intelligence describes the ability to understand one’s own feelings which is vital to being an effective and high-performing member of any team. It also provides great insight on how emotion influences motivation and behaviour. The concepts of Emotional Intelligence have been around since the early 20th century, but the term was first introduced by Wayne Payne in 1985.
Focusing on managing your emotions under pressure, participants will gain a better understanding of self-management and self-awareness by learning how to manage your emotional brain in your most difficult moments. This in turn will give them better insight and control over their actions and emotions. With a greater understanding of emotions participants will experience a positive impact on their professional and personal lives to make their job and career more effective, satisfying, and successful.
