This session is meant to grow knowledge and appreciation of the importance of emotional intelligence. In this DevLab, we will define emotional intelligence (E.I.) and share data as to why it is critical to success, not just for leaders but for individual contributors as well. We will then consider how we think and feel and apply mindfulness techniques to help us manage our behavior in a conscious, thoughtful way while avoiding reacting emotionally. This session is hands-on where we both learn and practice growing our E.I. skills. Among other things, we will learn:
Deeper awareness of our thoughts and emotions (and those of others)
How to give and receive feedback effectively
The power of attitude in effecting our ability to influence others
The importance of mindfulness techniques and consistent practice
In the end, E.I. concepts that you'll learn will help you to grow healthy relationships in work and at home. All that is requested is that you come prepared to think, question, and participate toward creating a richer experience for the entire group.
