Building Better Relationships across the Organization
Description
Emotional intelligence combined with building effective communication skills enables for improved relationships with co-workers, your manager, customers and others within the organization. The ability to understand and control one’s own emotions as well as understand other people’s emotions enables for improvements in how we communicate with others. We can’t begin to understand how to communicate effectively with others if we do not have emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is about interpersonal savvy – relating well to all types of individuals, establishing relationships and building rapport to achieve goals, using diplomacy and tact to solve problems and resolve conflicts.
Effective communication with others makes all the difference in achieving results. Of importance is ensuring that communications are concise, clear and take into account the other party’s needs. Effective, positive, well thought out oral and written communications enable you to better manage conflicts, express needs, influence others and improve listening – all part of emotional intelligence.
An online assessment is used pre-workshop. Case studies and mini scenarios are used to strengthen emotional intelligence and create effective communications; along with role playing to practice skills being learned in the workshop. Participants will create an action plan to improve their emotional intelligence and communication skills back on the job.
