VIRTUAL SESSION via Zoom
Instructor: Mike Allison
Leaders will explore and understand the direct link between high emotional intelligence (EQ) and success in the workplace. Numerous recent studies show that society’s most effective leaders cultivate strong emotional intelligence skills. In fact, one such comprehensive study carried out across a variety of organizations determined that 90 percent of top performers have high EQ. Those who incorporate EQ techniques into their lives experience great personal and professional gain. In addition to being grounded, they more easily seize new opportunities, manage difficult situations, make sound decisions based on fact, and set an energizing tone both inside and outside the workplace.
