EQ to IQ: Why Smart People Fail 
Research indicates that, for jobs of every type, Emotional Intelligence (or Emotional Quotient) is twice as important as IQ and technical skills combined. Moreover, EI accounts for 85% of what separates star performers from average ones.
Daniel Goleman, author of the best-seller, Working with Emotional Intelligence, describes EI as "recognizing and managing our own feelings and those of others--the fundamentals upon which are built such important organizational competencies as outstanding leadership, customer service, and teamwork. "The good news," Goleman states, "is that Emotional Intelligence can be learned."
Based on Goleman's book, this seminar explores how you can boost productivity, lead more effectively, and enjoy more satisfying relationhips through Emotional Competence. During the seminar, you'll complete an EQ map - an extensively researched and tested self-assessment.
The map, along with other EQ activities, will enable you to:
- Gain a better understanding of yourself
- Plot your individual path to success
- See how you score on 20EQ scales and their inherent competencies
- Create a snapshot of your current EQ strengths and vulnerabilities
- Cluster your current EQ strengths and vulnerabilities
You'll Also Discover:
- EI's Relationship to IQ
- The value of EI at different levels of job complexity
- Success factors of emotionally intelligent organizations
- 3 popular EI assessment instruments and how to use them in your organization
