Emotional Intelligence In Leadership: The Foundation Of A High-Performance Culture
Motivated business professionals are looking for every edge to be successful in the workplace. Naturally, many develop expertise in technical or task-oriented skills in order to enhance their careers.
However, those who have a high level of awareness and control over their emotions, and use their emotions to connect with others and develop positive relationships, will find even greater success in the workplace.
This soft skill is known as emotional intelligence, and it is an essential element in the business world, especially in high-stress environments. If you are unable to control your emotions, they can preoccupy your thoughts and interfere with your ability to evaluate a situation objectively
On the contrary, knowing what triggers your emotional responses and understanding how to exercise self-control over them enables you to confront difficult issues and manage change with clarity and composure.
This program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and tools to develop your emotional quotient (EQ) once measured via an emotional intelligence test. You’ll learn how to avoid self-sabotaging outcomes by altering how you perceive and respond to emotionally charged situations.
In addition, you’ll improve your ability to resolve conflict constructively, create a productive work environment, build and mend relationships, and bounce back from setbacks and disappointment.
You can also learn more about building and mending relationships with our course, The Trust Factor, which pairs delightfully with improved Emotional Intelligence. Alternatively, we also offer Coaching Programs for your personal and business needs.

"Thank you for your excellent presentation on Practicing Emotional Intelligence. I found your development tips tremendously helpful.
I teach Emotional Intelligence to students, unfortunately, EQ literature is often strong on good intentions rather than solid practical advice.
I can also relate to the fact that every day we face a choice to be empathic, self-awareness and have the courage to change. I’d love to stay in touch so we can talk more about it."

"Robert is a powerful and highly effective business coach. I worked with Robert to clarify my goals, next steps, and to break through the barriers preventing me from taking decisive action. With Robert’s help, I was able to identify a career path that would truly satisfy me and quickly secured my dream job with my dream company. Robert is both a rigorous and compassionate coach who only has the best interests of his clients. I’ve also participated in his webinars and programs which are designed to develop participants to become better leaders who build High-Performing Teams. I recommend Robert without hesitation."

"I’m very fortunate to have worked with Robert in the area of Emotional Intelligence training and coaching. After a senior manager at my current employer informed me that my promotability within the organization might be in jeopardy because I had a reputation of being abrasive during my communications with senior leadership, I knew I needed to make a change.
Consequently, I signed up for a webinar with Robert and then for personal EI coaching sessions.
Robert put a custom program together for me, and I immediately put the new coaching to use. Three months later, several senior leaders have mentioned a noticeable improvement in the tone of my communication and have complimented me on it.
This is timely because there are now two senior management positions opening up that I will be applying for. I’m grateful for Robert’s patience and candor – it’s opened my eyes to areas that I could improve and has provided me with the tools I need to improve my emotional intelligence in all facets of my life."

"I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the two sessions on emotional intelligence. I can’t think of a single person who wouldn’t benefit from emotional intelligence awareness. You are a wonderful presenter – thoughtful, professional and compassionate. Afterward, I had a conversation with one person who was sad the course was finished. Others really seemed to enjoy it as well.
Practice makes perfect, so I will continue to work on changing my response pathways and hopefully, it will become second nature. I am grateful Karim found you and continues to work with you. I can see clearly now why he is so excited."
