Why Emotional Intelligence is Worth Understanding & Essential to Wrokplace Performance

More than likely, you've heard the term Emotional Intelligence (EQ). You relize it's different than IQ but you're not exactly sure what it is, why you're hearing about it with increasing frequency or why you should care. You may be wondering what emotions have to do with anything - especially when it comes to the workplace. Aren't emotions best left at home or confined to our personal lives? Step into your uncertainty and join Kim Waltman with Employee & Family Resources for a high-energy, interactive conversation that fosters awareness about how to be smarter with feelings. Learn how to be more intentional & purposeful with emotions so you can impact workplace outcomes. And, there's an added bonus: what you learn during the workshop has the potential to influence life outside work.

If you're interested in learning your EQ quotient prior to attending the event, you're invited to take the 5-minute self-assessment: http://www.theotherkindofsmart.com/ei-quiz. The quiz will be scored immediately upon completion and results kept confidential. You will gain insight into how aware you are of your own emotions as well as other people's emotions. The quiz is not required in order to attend the sessions.
