Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace
Lead with insight, not just authority
The Challenge
Technical expertise gets people hired. Emotional intelligence determines whether they succeed as leaders.
Without strong EI skills, your teams struggle with:
- Communication breakdowns that slow progress and damage relationships
- Unresolved conflicts that create toxic work environments
- Leaders who can't connect with or motivate their people
- High turnover as talented employees leave for cultures where they feel valued
- Stress and burnout that reduce productivity and engagement
The good news? Emotional intelligence can be developed—and the impact is immediate.

Why This Workshop Works

Built on Daniel Goleman's EI model and current neuroscience research about emotions and decision-making.
Practice-Focused
Participants don't just learn about EI—they practice applying it to real situations they'll face at work.
Customized to Your Context
I tailor examples, case studies, and discussions to your industry and organizational challenges.
Ongoing Reinforcement
Follow-up resources ensure skills continue developing long after the workshop ends.

The Business Case for Investment
Organizations with emotionally intelligent leaders see:
- Higher employee engagement - EI leaders create environments where people want to stay
- Better conflict resolution - Issues are addressed early before becoming crises
- Improved decision-making - Leaders who manage emotions make clearer, less reactive choices
- Reduced turnover - People leave managers, not companies—EI leaders retain talent
- Stronger team performance - Psychological safety drives innovation and collaboration
Example: One manager preventing a toxic conflict that would have led to two resignations saves your organization $10,000-40,000 in replacement costs alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is this different from personality assessments?
A: While personality assessments are useful, this workshop focuses on developing the skills to recognize and manage emotions in real-time workplace situations, not just understanding your type.
Q: Can EI really be learned, or is it something you're born with?
A: Research shows emotional intelligence can absolutely be developed through practice. While some people may have natural tendencies, the skills can be learned and strengthened over time.
Q: Will this work for technical teams who are skeptical of "soft skills"?
A: Absolutely. I frame EI as a performance tool, not therapy. Technical leaders consistently report that EI training helps them communicate better, reduce conflict, and lead more effectively.
