Research demonstrates that
emotional intelligence (EI) is a more powerful predictor of
life/work success than is IQ. This course helps participants define
their baseline interpersonal strengths either through the Bar-On EQ-i ®,
Emotional Intelligence Assessment tool or through a series of informal,
mini EI assessments (e.g., measuring variables like empathy, reality
testing and self awareness). The Bar-On EQ-i ®, the first scientifically
developed and validated measure of emotional intelligence, measures
one's ability to deal effectively with daily environmental pressures
and demands. It has been used by over one million individuals worldwide.
There is considerable evidence that baseline EI skills can be
learned / enhanced to a significant degree. This course provides
an array of strategies and application techniques for leveraging
one's interpersonal EI strengths and building competence in areas
where there is room for improvement. Participants are also provided
EI application principles to help them meet the challenges of 21st
century multicultural business environments.
