from noon to 4:00 pm central. The cost to register is $225 for IAAO

Emotional
Intelligence, or EQ, is a leader’s ability to understand their own
emotions and how they affect the workplace as well as how to manage
others’ emotions. It is a key component to being an effective and
intentional leader. The Emotionally Effective Leader Workshop provides
attendees with a deeper understanding of Emotional Intelligence as well
as a key set of tools to be the well-rounded leader needed in today’s
environment.
Alternating between
group activities and individual reflective exercises, the engaging
workshop will encourage participants to focus on their leadership
strengths and areas they can develop further. Leveraging results from
leaders’ EQ-i 2.0 Leadership Reports, participants will learn the
importance of emotional intelligence in effective leadership and leave
with a better understanding of his or her strengths and areas to develop
to enhance their leadership skills, as well as an action plan on how to
increase his or her effectiveness.
