Who Should Attend:
People in leadership positions who would like to begin developing their insights and leadership skills in this key area. This program focuses on value identification and communication, self-awareness in the areas of strengths and development opportunities, self-control, empathy, self-confidence, openness to others, and the ability to inspire. The program touches very briefly on competencies such as learning, innovation, customer focus, coaching, being a change agent, managing conflict, etc. to insure participants understand the overall scope of emotional intelligence but does not address these areas in detail. Participants may also wish to consider separate learning opportunities in the area of coaching, conflict management, change management, and specific aspects of team leadership based on their background and experience levels. Please consider this program as developmental, not "remedial" in nature.
