This one-day program takes a hands-on and interactive approach to developing your managerial strengths and natural leadership abilities. The course focuses on developing emotional intelligence through self-awareness, self-confidence and improving interpersonal communications skills.
Whether you are entry-level staff member or a top executive being successful is much more than just intelligence. Emotional intelligence is about how we handle ourselves and our relationships and is shown to distinguish star-performers in many fields with exceptional leaders attributing up to 90% of their success to thir emotional intelligence.
