Being cognitively smart isn’t enough. In order to succeed at work, we all need a combination of technical skills, cognitive abilities (IQ), and emotional intelligence (EQ). While technical skills and IQ are basic prerequisites for success, studies over the last 20 years have repeatedly found that emotional intelligence is the most important indicator of career success, especially in more senior roles. In this workshop, you’ll learn key EQ related leadership skills in the context of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.

Attendee feedback

“Dave was the perfect person to lead the “Emotional Intelligence for Engineers” session. He showed great understanding of our technical professionals taking the training because he’s been in their shoes and experienced first-hand the complexities of engineering teams. ‘Emotions at work’ is not a topic that is typically discussed at work, however recognizing and identifying EQ is essential to creating and sustaining high performing teams. This session was exactly what we needed!”
