EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE and GREAT TEAMS
Knowledge of Emotional Intelligence increases the depth of communication inside teams. Attend this session to learn the fundamentals of Emotional Intelligence– “EQ”. You’ll also learn about how low levels of Emotional Intelligence can create much higher levels of stress that directly effect individuals and teams.
Learn why IQ alone is no longer a predictor of optimal performance.
The workshop opens with an explanation of what EQ is made up of, based on the work of acclaimed Harvard University Professor and writer, Daniel Goleman. The presenter, Art DeLorenzo then takes you through two exercises that immediately can be implemented at any time to help lower stress.
Next he explains how the brain instigates the production of the chemical cortisol– and its impact on us physiologically and in our daily interactions with others.
As the connection to brain science is described, you’ll learn how to use knowledge of this science to help foster better communciation and great collaborative work inside your teams.
Art zeroes in on two essential aspects of interactions that associate with great teams: Forgiveness and Empathy, and how they affect your ability to communicate, cooperate and collaborate in teams.
Forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, and/or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution. See the full Wikipedia entry on Forgiveness here.
Empathy is the capacity to recognize and, to some extent, share feelings (such as sadness or happiness) that are being experienced by another sentient or semi-sentient being. Someone may need to have a certain amount of empathy before they are able to feel compassion. See the Wikipedia entry on Empathy here.
This session uses exercises, lecture and video to explain emotional intelligence in a way that you can immediately put to work inside your own Agile teams.
