Emotional and Social Intelligence

We spend years developing our intellectual capacities. Yet, emotional intelligence is the one guiding us through the complexity of relationships we have with people with different personalities and needs. More than a trend, the focus on emotional intelligence is about making us realize the role our emotions plays in the quality of our interaction and communication with others. Emotional self-awareness, appreciation of others’ emotions and understanding of their consequences on our relationship management contribute directly to our capacity to face a variety of situations, some stressful, other motivating, and to influence others. In short, emotional intelligence redefines what is needed to succeed.

This workshop requires active participation by everyone.

Dealing with Difficult Behaviours

“the easiest way to get rid of a Minus is to change it into a Plus”

Most workplaces have at least one person who is perceived as difficult. Difficult behaviour can manifest itself as pervasive negativity, rudeness, impatience, recurring drama, even open anger and aggression. Like all negative forces, difficult attitudes and behaviours tend to be contagious and are more and more prevalent in the workplace.
