Emotional Intelligence@Work

Course Description

The practice of emotional intelligence (EQ) is valuable now, maybe more than ever. Recognizing our own and others’ feelings serves as a powerful tool in connecting with people – building trust – making fully informed decisions – and fostering inclusion and belonging. You are invited to join this cohort network and build EQ skills and strategies through an intentional sequence of workshops with the same group of participants.

According to Forbes, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is one of the top 10 skills employees will need to succeed in 2020. CareerBuilder found that 71% of employers viewed EQ more important than IQ.

Why? Research suggests that employees who develop and practice Emotional Intelligence:

• Are self-aware
• Are effective listeners and communicators
• Successfully manage difficult situations
• Build trusting work relationships
• Admit and learn from mistakes and are open to feedback
• Are empathetic towards others and see value in differing perspectives

The good news is EQ can be learned, improved, and developed. All it takes is practice.
