- Leaders are increasingly realizing the importance EQ (Emotional Intelligence) plays in workplace productivity. In addition, empirical studies are showing that there is a direct correlation between our levels of EQ and our degree of success in leadership positions.

In this program, participants will begin to explore, measure, and learn how to improve their EQ and leverage their strengths for optimal achievement and leadership potential.
