Emotional IQ, Empathy and Adaptive Skills
LEARN AND IMPROVE YOUR EMOTIONAL IQ
You’ve heard it before: Emotional IQ, as compared to intellect (IQ), is the key to our holistic success in life. In fact, according to experts, the balance between EQ and IQ in terms of which contributes more fully to our success and well-being in life is not even close – it’s a 70/30 ratio in favor of EQ. And that’s actually great news, because guess which one you can actually do something about?
Yup! While adaptive skills are those skills you brought with you from childhood and that make or break your success in almost every part of your life, the good news is we can learn and improve in these important life behaviors and attitudes! We’re talking about skills such as the ability to receive feedback without punishing the other person with defensiveness, listening so others feel heard, the art of giving feedback truthfully yet respectfully, showing empathy, dealing with your own stress without having it leak out on everyone around you, and so many more. In this workshop we’ll learn the mechanics behind improving our adaptive skills/emotional IQ, we’ll work on some specific skills (including empathy*), we’ll practice in real time, and we’ll make commitments to build sustainability.
*Speaking of empathy: so much magic happens when teams (and leaders!) develop a shared understanding and appreciation for empathy in the workplace and learn practical empathy skills for their colleagues, their employees, their customers - and themselves (which, by the way, is called “self-compassion”).
