Professional Development Institute
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.
