2-Day Emotional Intelligence in Leadership Certificate Program

• HRCI – 14 HR(General) Credits
• SHRM – 14 PDC’s

Unlock your leadership potential with our Emotional Intelligence Training program. Master the keys to effective leadership, including self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills. Improve your team's performance, foster positive workplace relationships, and drive business success.

Emotionally Intelligent leaders will separate fair leaders from exceptional leaders. These leaders will:

• Be able to navigate the complex needs of their team members
• Provide guidance and support while continuously meeting project goals
• Face challenges head-on by removing obstacles and continuously learning
• Balance work-life demands for themselves and others

Emotionally Intelligent leaders:

• Know their own emotional triggers and how to react to avoid missteps or misunderstandings
• Recognize others' needs and react in the moment with empathy and understanding
• Understand differences to cultivate creativity and innovation

According to LinkedIn – "Workers who have managers with high Emotional Quotient (EQ) scores are four times less likely to quit than those with managers who have low EQ."

Without Emotional Intelligence, work environments will lack energy and employees will lack motivation. Without employee engagement, you will be unable to attract the best talent and retain that talent.

In this course you will learn:

• What qualities and attributes build Emotional Intelligence?
• Why leaders with high Emotional Intelligence are important to an organization’s success.
• Why understanding yourself is core to your own Emotional Intelligence.
• Why your emotional triggers are important and what to do about them.
• How your emotions can impact your team and work environment.
• Considerations to recognize and lead intergenerational teams.
• Techniques to challenge your own beliefs or behaviors.
• What it takes to understand yourself and others.
• To focus on yourself and identify your own course of action for change.

This two-day workshop will equip you with activities, techniques, tools and knowledge to build your Emotional Intelligence and increase your Emotional Quotient.
