Building Emotional Intelligence
In today’s day and age, soft skills are just as, if not more, important than hard skills. Being aware of your emotions and those of others are critical to business success. Learning to apply emotional intelligence are skills that can be taught, and this keynote will start you off with the basics.
Overview of Keynote
Managers and senior leaders must focus on the skills necessary to work with others and get the best results from their teams. Real leadership is inspiring, motivating and igniting passion in others. So, how do we teach people to inspire, motivate and ignite passion in others? We do this by teaching them how to apply emotional intelligence in the workplace.
While it may sound counter-intuitive to tune into and focus on emotions in the workplace, it is a vital component in effectively managing in today’s diverse workplace. From a business perspective, understanding the attitudes and behaviours of your people is critical. It is your people, not things, which create an organization’s competitive advantage, and when you start treating people as people, it’s incredible what they can accomplish.
The good news is that emotional intelligence can be learned, developed, and enhanced. Incorporating EI into your repertoire will take your leadership skills to new heights, and this “Building Emotional Intelligence” keynote will start you off with the basics.
“You get the best efforts from others not by lighting a fire beneath them but by building a fire within.”
— Bob Nelson
