Rationale:

Most managers have a high level of expertise on the technical side of their work, but few have substantial training in the human side of the job. In an era of rapid change and complex organizations, it takes a robust set of people skills to create performance.

EQ Leadership is an engaging two-day program where you'll experience a unique approach to learning that's been effective for hundreds of professionals from six continents. The methodology comes from a curriculum called “Self-Science,” identified in Daniel Goleman's 1995 best-selling book, Emotional Intelligence, as one of two models for teaching EQ. This approach is research-based, time-tested, and proven effective. In a recent course evaluation, participants rated the program 9.35 out of 10 on, “The program helps you raise performance at work.”

Emotional intelligence provides powerful insights and tools for improving human performance. Emotional intelligence (or “EQ”) is the capacity to effectively use emotions, and it's a key differentiating factor of successful leaders. Why? Because relationships are at the heart of workplace performance, and EQ skills are what makes effective relationships thrive. As Andrea Jung, Chair and CEO of Avon Products, says “emotional intelligence is in our DNA here at Avon because relationships are critical at every stage of our business.”
