In such times of rapid change and complexity, organizations are finding that they need their most important resources to be engaged and take responsibility to succeed through productivity and peak performance. Most employees have a high level of expertise on the technical side of their work, but few have substantial training on the human side of the job. Employees are frequently uninspired and de-motivated as performance expectations are always being emphasized which continually keeps them on their toes. Emotional & Social Intelligence provides powerful insights and essential tools for transforming the workplace to one where people enjoy their work, find passion in what they do while building synergistic relationships resulting in a highly productive and stimulating environment.
Emotional intelligence (or "EQ") is the capacity to effectively use emotions to express ourselves and handle relationships with others, and it’s a key differentiating factor of successful people. Social Intelligence helps one make use of the their EQ skills and translate them into a dynamic system of interaction with others in a manner which shows sensitivity, a heart to heart connection with team members and colleagues through the skillful employment of one’s social skills to bring out the best in themselves and others. Why does the fusion between EQ and Social Intelligence matter? Because relationships are at the heart of workplace performance, and ESI skills are what makes effective relationships thrive.
This program is an engaging two-day program where participants develop Emotional & Social Intelligence to increase their effectiveness at the "people side" of work. The course features part of the practices from Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships. Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence had explored the connection between our social interactions and our health. He elaborates upon a brain-to-brain link that encourages humans to connect and that the better we get at human connection and communication, our health and happiness moves in tandem with each other. In essence, our mind and body function according to primal instincts and it is coded for connectedness and synergistic relationships with fellow human beings.
Studies vary, but all indicate that social and emotional competence accounts from 70 to 80% of the difference in peoples’ success. Maybe that’s why thought leaders like Jack Welch (past CEO of GE) and Warren Bennis (leadership authority and author) and hundreds of others all agree:
"No doubt emotional intelligence is more rare than book smarts, but in my experience it is actually more important in making a leader."
- Jack Welch
"In the fields I have studied, emotional intelligence is much more powerful than IQ in determining who emerges as a leader. IQ is a threshold competence. You need it, but it doesn’t make you a star. Emotional Intelligence can."
- Warren Bennis, author of Becoming A Leader
