The Impact of Responding vs. Reacting.

Foundations of Emotional Intelligence

Improve your team collaboration and leadership abilities through a deeper understanding of your own emotional intelligence.

What Is Foundations of Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional Intelligence has been the buzz word for the last 20 years in organizations, but what is the business case for emotional intelligence? High emotional intelligence is associated with strong employee engagement, effective leadership, and building a successful job path.

In this 4-part virtual training, participants will learn how to heighten their self-awareness and manage their emotions by analyzing the impact of reacting vs. responding. Through peer and group activities, participants will use the process and strategies of emotional intelligence to counter “triggered reactions” which can positively influence engagement, performance, and leadership.

Foundations of Emotional Intelligence is available in a virtual training format or onsite at your company anywhere in the country.
