Course Description

Have you ever wondered why some people are very effective as leaders and move up the ladder while others struggle? When was the last time you were trying to influence someone and realized that the technique you were using was not working? If so, the difference is in exercising emotional intelligence. Daniel Golman, a pioneer in this field, conducted a study that showed for a group of over 200 senior leaders their success as they moved up the ladder came not from their technical ability it came from emotional intelligence.

This session will help you understand where you are today using on an emotional intelligence scale and learn steps that can be taken to increase effectiveness in all relationships.
