EQ Lite Workshop

Class Length: 1 Day
Prerequisites: None

Overview

The days when intelligence was your ticket to success is gone. Current research shows that IQ along with skills and knowledge make up only 20% of what you need for success. Emotional Intelligence (also known as Emotional Quotient) is the other 80%.

Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is a concept that describes factors that set successful leaders apart from other leaders. EQ can be defined as those skills that people use to manage their own emotions wisely, to help them achieve their goals and to manage their interactions with others in ways that maximize the chances of influencing others constructively.

Leaders with high EQ have been shown to add as much as 127% more value to the bottom line of their organization than average leaders. Not compared to bad leaders—but compared to leaders with average EQ.

In this highly interactive one day course, participants will learn the fundamentals of EQ in a powerful and high impact method. When they walk out of the course they will be able to start utilizing and practicing EQ in their work and personal lives.
