Overview

Improving your EQ level is good for you, your team’s motivation and your organisation’s productivity.

Leaders with good levels of emotional intelligence (EQ) invariably manage organisations with happier and more productive staff. It is one of the most important skill competences in senior managers, and it can be really helpful in building more fruitful collaborative working relationships. It can be used as a vital tool in delivering team and organisational performance, improving motivation, productivity, and even profitability.

This seminar is designed to help staff at all levels of seniority to be more aware of how EQ can help in your roles. Whether you work as part of a collaborative team or as a leader of multiple teams, your own health and performance can be improved by understanding and using some practical tools and techniques.

This is a skill set and an approach that you can learn, and it is particularly helpful and useful for understanding how your colleagues are thinking and working in the context of remote and hybrid working where there is less casual personal interaction.

Who is it designed for?

This motivational and positive seminar is designed for anyone who is currently working as a member of a remote team, or a team leader. If you consider that you would be able to work more collaboratively and productively with an improved understanding of how to apply some tools and techniques for EQ enhancement in your own approach to interacting with colleagues, then this seminar is perfect for you.

How will you benefit from attending?

You will learn some practical tools and techniques to improve your own EQ and learn how to apply these in practical, positive and productive ways at work.
