Training Description:

So often leaders have been conditioned to think emotions negatively impact work environments. However, an emotionally intelligent leader is self-aware and uses this awareness to empathize with others, particularly team members they lead. The result is a more connected team that contributes to the success of its members and its goals. In this workshop, participants will assess their emotional intelligence and learn strategies to enhance their emotional intelligence.
