Agile EQ: Understanding Emotional Intelligence
Not currently scheduled
Overview
In today's fast-paced world of competitive workplaces and chaotic personal lives, each of us is searching for effective tools that can make our schedules, behaviors, and relationships more manageable. Agile emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to read the emotional and interpersonal needs of a situation and respond accordingly. Developing your EQ can improve your interactions, productivity, and outcomes. There are different ways to be emotionally intelligent. Some of these ways will come naturally to you. Others are more of a stretch. Learning to stretch to different mindsets gives you the agility to adapt your responses to whatever situation you’re facing.

- Identify your natural skills and apply Agile EQ skills to develop your leadership skills and improve teamwork while building better relationships at work and home.
