Cultural Intelligence (CQ)

Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

As identified by Carolyn Gregoire of the Huffington Post, what makes some people more successful in work and life than others? IQ and work ethic are important, but they don’t tell the whole story. Our emotional intelligence — the way we manage emotions, both our own and those of others — can play a critical role in determining our happiness and success.

Plato said that all learning has some emotional basis, and he may be right. The way we interact with and regulate our emotions has repercussions in nearly every aspect of our lives. To put it in colloquial terms, emotional intelligence (EQ) is like “street smarts,” as opposed to “book smarts,” and it’s what accounts for a great deal of one’s ability to navigate life effectively.

Mr. MacDonald will lead the this session, guiding attendee interactively through the essentials of EQ:

·         Self-awareness – the ability to know one's emotions, strengths, weaknesses, drives, values and goals and recognize their impact on others while using gut feelings to guide decisions.

·         Self-regulation – involves controlling or redirecting one's disruptive emotions and impulses and adapting to changing circumstances.

·         Social skill – managing relationships to move people in the desired direction

·         Empathy - considering other people's feelings especially when making decisions

·         Motivation - being driven to achieve for the sake of achievement.
