Topic Description (this will appear in the opt-in email and sign-up form for your engagement)
We're creating a space for your community to talk about putting emotional intelligence to work. Emotional intelligence is the capacity to understand and control your emotions. Embracing them in the workplace can have clear benefits such as better collaboration among employees, a more productive environment, and a happier workforce. With globalization, emotional intelligence becomes more relevant when teams are cross-cultural which means increased complexity of interactions and the way emotions are expressed.
Areas of interest (participants will select 1-3 of these when they sign up for the conversation, and they will be matched with someone with similar interests)
Understanding of emotional intelligence and the ability to perceive emotions
Maintaining the right attitude and language to approach people from your workplace
Managing emotions to attain specific goals
Strategies for successfully balancing your mind and emotions in the workplace
Dealing with broken relationships after a failed attempt to control your emotions
Discussion questions (these will appear as part of the agenda that is sent to participants the day before the conversation, and they are also listed in the calendar invite)
How would some of your closest friends describe you?
How do you respond when a co-worker challenges you?
How do you celebrate success? How do you recover from failure?
What kind of behavior makes you angry/frustrated?
