Emotional Intelligence Training for Managers

Course Description

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a vital set of emotional and social skills that shape how we understand and express ourselves, build relationships, tackle challenges, and use emotional insights effectively. Unlike IQ, your EI can be developed and enhanced over time. Strong EI skills can significantly boost your success both professionally and personally. In this course, you'll learn to master the essential skills and competencies needed to achieve your goals in our social and emotional world. Whether you're looking to enhance your leadership abilities, improve your relationships, or handle stress better, this course offers practical knowledge and techniques to help you succeed. Even if you already possess some of these skills, this course will help you apply them more consistently and effectively. It’s never too late to make a change for the better. And if you want to make that change in your life or career, you can. This course and its contents will be based on the MHS Model of EQ (derived from the Bar-On Model of EQ), as measured by the EQi 2.0® assessment. Participants will receive an EQi 2.0 assessment and debrief before the course starts. This will enhance your understanding of the EI competencies and provide a more individualized approach to your level of EI. Participants will receive a copy of their results and the participant manual.
