We have long been taught that emotions should be felt and expressed in carefully controlled ways, and then only in certain environments and at certain times. We are taught that this is especially true at work, particularly when managing others.
Recent research on the emotion centers of the brain have proven that our emotions and associated moods have a direct effect on our ability to think clearly, make decisions, problem solve, and reason in strategic ways and ultimately, to become truly intelligent.
Fortune 500 companies are currently utilizing training developed from this research to develop managerial skills in their supervisory workforce that will enhance the effectiveness of their team-driven and leaner organizations.
The intent of the workshop is to describe the difference between regular "G" intelligence as measured by instruments like the WAIS or Standford-Binet and the four discrete skills of emotional intelligence that can be both taught and measured through existing testing. Participants will leave this workshop with an understanding of the skills associated with the use of emotional intelligence and their value in the workplace.
