Emotional Intelligence Workshop for Top Executives and Industry Leaders

Why select this course?

Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the ability to identify and manage emotions. It refers to an individual’s capacity to perceive and express themself as well as positively interact with others. Emotional intelligence helps you manage your moods, behaviours, and relationships. It also impacts your thinking and decision-making skills. Emotional intelligence has been associated with better job performance, more successful leadership, improved productivity and relationships at work. This current topic has been researched extensively over the last decade and holds great importance for managers, leaders and employees. And it’s not just about EQ that affects our performance in the workplace; it’s about behaviour as well. People with high emotional intelligence can better handle stress and other situations that lead to feelings of anger, sadness or fear. To add to that, they have a heightened capacity for empathy. The benefits extend beyond the workplace to your personal and familial relationships.

What is the role of self-regulation?

Understanding yourself and your feelings is the first step towards mastering self-regulation. A good leader must be able to control their emotions and responses to effectively handle conflicts and trying circumstances. In simple words, self-regulation is turning the negatives into positives. If a team comes across an issue, these leaders maintain a positive outlook and solve the problem constructively without losing their patience.

How can we develop emotional intelligence?

Emotional intelligence is one of the key elements that attract people to a leader’s character. One key aspect of emotional intelligence is self-awareness, knowing your own emotions and being able to regulate your feelings in certain situations. Another key activity for developing emotional intelligence is learning how to manage temptations; these are things that can weaken our self-discipline. If you want to be an inspirational leader, you need to understand your emotions and how they affect your ability to lead others.
