Brain of a Leader: What is Your Emotional Intelligence?
December 19, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Tenants, join us for a deep dive into Emotional Intelligence with Lisa White, of Integrated Leadership Systems.
Research has shown the benefits of emotional intelligence are many: greater career success, stronger personal and professional relationships, increased optimism, confidence, improved communication, and better problem- solving skills.
This session will cover the crucial role of self-awareness in developing successful relationships, and help participants pinpoint behaviors that impact work performance and create conflict. We will discuss ways to improve leadership skills by understanding how the brain works, how staying cool and building confidence can boost productivity, as well as how to recognize and manage ineffective office behaviors. This insightful and interactive workshop is key to understanding emotions and how to manage them, even under the most intense pressure. Individuals with high emotional intelligence are authentic, creative, focused and inspiring to others. This presentation will help to cultivate these attributes within each participant.
In this session, attendees will learn:
- Understand how emotions occur.
- Assess what emotions mean and what to do with them.
- How to manage fear effectively.
- How to harness passion for success.
