FSW 127 - Leading with Emotional Intelligence
Course Description
We now have over 4 decades of research on emotional intelligence (EI) and neuroscience and know so much more about how emotions play a critical role in our everyday lives. The World Economic Forum has listed EI as a top 10 employment skill. Yale University has its Centre for the Study of Emotional Intelligence. Google, Nike, Amazon, and Microsoft base their leadership development programs on EI. And yet, the concept of EI or EQ remains poorly understood by many. What exactly is EI/EQ and why is it so important for those in social work and the health sciences and what is the relationship with leadership? Join David Cory, executive coach, leadership development specialist, and keynote speaker, as he shares with you what you need to know both for yourself and how to best serve colleagues, direct reports, patients, and the wider community with emotional intelligence.
