Learn and Grow with EP

Research shows that highly successful leaders are emotionally intelligent leaders. Emotional competence makes the crucial difference between mediocre leaders and the best. In fact, on average, close to 90% of success in leadership is attributable to emotional intelligence.

Data suggests that IQ accounts for only about 20% of success in life, with the remaining 80% being made up by other factors, emotional intelligence included.

The good news is that emotional intelligence can be taught and learned – we have the ability to improve upon our emotional intelligence throughout our lives.

In this session we will cover:

• Why it is important to consider emotional intelligence
• Developing emotional intelligence competencies to support effective leadership
• Hook into the research and consider where you fit into critical elements
• Bringing emotional competence in ourselves and others.
• Building up our emotional bank account with our colleagues.
