Seminar - Emotional Intelligence: The Gateway Towards Effective Leadership
James Walbridge | Principal, HDR
Synopsis
Effective leadership requires more than just strategic vision and a high IQ. Strong Emotional Intelligence or “EQ” is considered an essential skill distinguishing truly effective leaders. This presentation will introduce, describe and coach the current accepted and forward-thinking concept of Emotional Intelligence. The five components of Emotional Intelligence will be broken down and explained in dialogue with the attendees supported by intensive audience participation in live “street-theatre” skits. This hands-on learning experience will provide the attendees with examples of real-world scenarios they can immediately associate with in their respective organizations to then apply their new Emotional Intelligence knowledge towards building their career leadership skills.
