Emotional intelligence requires skills such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Embracing the nuances of human emotion has demonstrated several benefits, particularly at work, such as better collaboration, compassionate leadership, boosted morale, and overall a happier and healthier workplace. Participants will learn that by recognizing the feelings of family members and co-workers and responding in a balanced, rational way, they can improve relationships and collaborate more effectively. The session also examines new brain research on emotions and the battle between the emotional and the thinking brain.
