EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Using the book Emotional Intelligence 2.0 as a foundation, this session provides attendees an opportunity to 1) complete the Emotional Intelligence assessment, 2) learn about the four competencies of Self Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management, 3) discuss how those competencies impact their experiences and effectiveness, and 4) develop action plans for practicing and improving their skills in these areas.
UNDERSTANDING BEHAVIOR with DiSC
Content focuses on understanding the DiSC model of behavioral styles and preferences. Equal attention is given to learning one’s own preferences and tendencies for work and life using the DiSC assessment and understanding and working with other styles. Additional application may include challenging interactions with employees, clients, and colleagues, as well as using DiSC in work groups and teams.
MANAGING CONFLICT
Focuses on conflict handling, using the Thomas-Kilmann conflict modes as a foundation. We discuss the five modes of Competing, Accommodating, Avoiding, Compromising, and Collaborating, both as skills and as preferences. Discussion includes links between personality/behavioral style and the tendency to overuse or underuse these approaches, as well as cues for identifying when each is the appropriate choice. The critical role of functional, well-managed conflict in organizations is also addressed.
EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK
This session focuses on giving and receiving feedback effectively – both positive and critical. Components include appropriate content (specific behavior and impact), contextual considerations (links to behavioral styles, as well as emotional intelligence), and the impact of consistent feedback on performance,relationships, and engagement. Feedback is treated not as an intervention or exception but as a critical tool for continuous improvement and excellence.
SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP
This session focuses on the need to adapt one’s preferred management style to match the employee’s competence and commitment to the current task. We discuss the role of this approach in growing and engaging employees and offer tips for optimizing managerial investments. Participants will be encouraged to apply this to specific employee/task challenges and develop action plans for new management approaches. Appropriate for individuals with direct or project management responsibilities.
