Advanced emotional intelligence and leadership
Emotional intelligence (EQ) has proved to be a key determinant of success in jobs at all levels worldwide. Raising your emotional intelligence skills allows you to become more aware of and in control of your emotions. As a result of this you are likely to be more productive and more successful, feel less stressed, have better relations with your customers, co-workers, etc., have less time off work through sickness and have more job satisfaction.
Forefront Training and Business Solutions brings you a unique four-day event geared towards increasing both your emotional intelligence and leadership skills. The masterclass is divided into two unique segments facilitated by communication and personal development expert Chantaul Jordan, whose highly interactive style have established her as an effective coach and trainer, and leadership and strategy master Ian Mann, who is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable practitioners of strategy.
The EQ side of this course will give you the keys to:
• Enhance your image and credibility through heightened self-awareness
• Manage your emotions and respond appropriately
• Higher levels of confidence and better decision making
• A more relaxed, influential communication style
• Becoming a team-player with effective negotiation and collaboration skills
• Dealing with stress and conflict in a constructive manner
• Improved relationships and an uplifting working environment
• Increased performance and productivity.
The second workshop, titled 'Leading in Turbulent Times', will among various other topics highlight:
• What (managers and) leaders are supposed to do - there are two questions managers have to answer regularly and often: What sort of manager do I need to be here, now? What is the single most important thing I have to achieve here, now?
• The danger to your career of role models - no one does Jack Welsh as well as Jack Welsh
• Conform enough - to get traction in any organisation you have to conform. To achieve you have to go beyond conforming. There are guidelines
• Read and rewrite the context - there is a skill in reading context which you can learn and which is the prerequisite for being able to make change happen
• Managing social distance - too close? Too distant? What is right?
• Leadership and self-deception - who you are will determine the greater part of your success and most people are deceiving themselves in ways that are far from obvious
• How to change things when change is hard - attending to the nine factors will greatly enhance your ability to make the right things happen
• Saving your good idea from getting shot down - because your idea is good does not guarantee that it will be accepted, so you need to know the signs and how to deal with what they indicate
