THE EMOTIONALLY EFFECTIVE LEADER

This has been one of the best workshops I've ever participated in (virtual and live). It was helpful and the format with the break-out groups was supportive of thought and conversation. - June 2021 Participant
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is proven to be a key indicator of human performance and development. People higher in EI communicate effectively, form strong relationships, and create powerful coping strategies. As for leaders, those with higher EI skills are more likely to demonstrate personal integrity, manage their impulses while still taking risks, be empathetic without losing sight of their own emotional needs, be an effective communicator, easily build rapport and inspire others. EI is a cornerstone of a leader’s ability to build and sustain an engaged, high performing team.
You may have a formal or informal leadership position; you may be a relatively new or a very seasoned leader. The question is, do you want to be a more effective leader? This workshop is for anyone who is interested in developing their leadership capacity. Alternating between group activities and individual reflective exercises, this engaging two-session workshop encourages leaders to focus on their leadership strengths and areas they can develop further.
As a component of this workshop, you will complete a personal EQ-i 2.0 emotional intelligence assessment and receive a personalized EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Report. This report examines your assessment results through the four key dimensions of leadership (Authenticity, Coaching, Insight, and Innovation) and provides a comparison against top leaders as a benchmark. The report also contains insights on the possible implications of the assessment results, and which skills have the highest potential of becoming leadership derailers. Personalized strategies for development are provided for each emotional intelligence skillset, with the goal of supporting your pursuit and attainment of your true leadership potential.
As a result of this workshop you will be able to:
- Describe the role of emotional intelligence in effective leadership
- Describe your emotional intelligence strengths and areas with opportunity for growth
- Identify how aspects of emotional intelligence can lead to derailing behaviors
- Identify ways to maximize your leadership potential
- Apply what you’ve learned in this workshop through your personal EQ-i 2.0 learning plan
This workshop energized me as a leader. I was able to develop a better vocabulary to identify both my areas for growth and to speak to my team about that. I leave this workshop with so many ideas to bring back to my team. - June 2021 Participant
