Emotional Intelligence: Implementing an Inclusive Post-COVID Resilience Strategy

Description

In 2020 and 2021, organizations navigated the challenges of remote work, social distancing, and a new flexibility in the workplace. Now what remains are the deeper challenges of the anxiety, stress, and feelings of insecurity among employees and leaders alike. Adaptive and innovative organizations need to embrace emotional intelligence (EI) to move forward from crisis to a new normal.

This session will define EI as it applies to the contemporary workplace and to the COVID-19 pandemic and introduces tools for individuals, managers, and senior leaders that can contribute to an increasingly inclusive organizational environment.

Expect to explore your EI skills and how to identify EI in those with whom you work. We will introduce a series of EI tools and techniques that you can employ with various teams within your organization, and we’ll discuss when and where to use them. This is not just a listening session; this is 90 minutes of interactive work to hit the ground running to effect change.
