The Level Headed Leader: Understanding Yourself Before Leading Others

This workshop equips leaders to effectively manage themselves and their relationships with others.

8 Professional Development Hours

Workshop Overview

The knowledge of emotion intelligence (EQ) is foundational for a successful leader. The specific skills that comprise EQ have to do with self-knowledge, ability to read individuals and groups, and the ability to communicate with and influence others. People who increase their skills in these areas tend to be very effective in their personal relationships as well as business interactions, organizational challenges, collaboration, and leadership. Apply these skills at work to become a better leader and a more desirable employee.
