Emotional Intelligence at Work Matters

Fall 2019 - CTDO Magazine

Top execs develop emotional intelligence skills to improve their relationships and make smart decisions.

Emotionally Wise

The pursuit of an “emotion-free workplace” undermines that which makes us human: our feelings, including their influence on everyday performance. Each of us, consciously or not, experiences hundreds of emotions each day from the moment we enter work to the time we leave. Imagining that our success in the workplace requires us to deny the existence of emotions is no more realistic than imagining a driver that can reach her destination by ignoring the weather, traffic, and time of day. Marc Brackett, author of Permission to Feel and director of the Yale Center of Emotional Intelligence will share findings from two decades of research on emotions and emotion skills, including their implications on decision making, relationships, and workplace performance. Andrea Hoban, Co-Founder and Head of Learning at Oji Life Lab will offer practical ways to apply emotion skills in the workplace and the immense benefits that can result from harnessing the wisdom of emotions at work.
In this webinar, you will:

Learn about emotion science and the skills of emotional intelligence
Understand the five important areas that emotions impact our daily work lives
Interpret research findings and discern their implications on performance
Learn practical tools to develop emotion skills
Become attuned to how you can optimize performance by unlocking the power of emotions

Straight Talk: Building an Emotional Intelligence Program That Works

Let’s face it, we’ve seen it before when it comes to implementing emotional intelligence (EI): a promise to improve team dynamics, engagement, productivity, and organizational culture. Yet, the outcome falls flat. Many programs fail because they focus on theory and don’t train people on the nuts and bolts of how to make EI happen. During this webinar, you will learn about the current state of EI training along with a practical approach to implementing emotional intelligence learning at both a team and organizational level. The importance of EI in driving good decision making, employee engagement, and overall productivity as well as the latest research on emotions in the workplace and how EI has an impact far beyond “being happy” will also be discussed. In addition, you will learn best practices from various organizations that the presenters worked with, including Biosense Webster (part of Johnson & Johnson), Kohler, and Google, and explore topics such as attaining program buy-in, design, implementation, and measurable outcomes.
You will walk away with:

A foundational understanding of the importance to recognize, understand, and regulate emotions and how they impact decision making and productivity
Several tools and strategies to recognize emotional cues and how to go about addressing them
Insights into implementing emotional intelligence practices at a team or organizational level
