Emotional Intelligence: What is it? Why it’s Necessary, & How can it be Developed?
After twenty-five years of executive coaching, Dr. Robert Gaardner has come to believe the level of emotional intelligence, though not the sole predictor, is by far the biggest indicator of a leader’s success. Emotional Intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way. Emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas. This presentation will focus on the Bar-On model (EQi-2) of emotional intelligence, which includes fifteen key elements that support emotional health. Participants will become familiar with the concepts of emotional intelligence and be able to initially evaluate their strengths and weakness, finding areas that can be improved over time.
