The most successful leaders learn skills in emotional intelligence. In this session, participants will develop an understanding of emotional intelligence and how it impacts leadership effectiveness, as well as increase self-awareness by identifying personal patterns to avoid emotionally charged situations. We also will address improving self-management by understanding responsive techniques for managing emotionally charged situations and boost social awareness by using techniques for recognizing emotional states in others.
