This course is designed for both professional and elected officials.

Did you know that emotional intelligence better predicts workplace effectiveness than IQ? And it's up to five times as important when you compare people within the same career. When you think about what behaviors characterized your most- and least-effective bosses, you are probably thinking about emotional intelligence skills such as motivating you and others, caring about you as a person, listening effectively, addressing conflict in timely and effective ways, communicating well, creating a high-morale work environment, and many more. These are all emotional intelligence skills, and you can learn them.

As part of this workshop, you will complete the Emotional Quotient Inventory 2.0 (administered in advance; clients will receive a link via email to complete the assessment, which takes approximately 20 minutes), an online self-rating assessment tool that measures emotional intelligence. You will also receive coaching about your results and identify simple strategies you can begin using to increase your emotional intelligence. You will understand emotional intelligence and how it affects your daily work behaviors. This customized learning experience is the ticket to a stronger leadership role for you and your team.

LELA Level: This course will earn you 6 education credits toward your recognition goal of a Practitioner, Master, Mentor, or Laureate within the Local Elected Leaders Academy. Please see the Local Elected Leadership Academy website for more information.
