Leading with Emotional Intelligence
Presented by Susan Mason, Principal at Vital Visions Consultants

How to Lead with Presence and Impact

Why does Emotional Intelligence (EI) matter? Because at the core of every outstanding leader are the abilities to connect, achieve, inspire and act with resilience.

EI has evolved from an area of research to a recognized set of best practices and core competencies that are at the heart of successful leadership. Today we use EI as an integrated set of skills that underpin highly effective, fast-reacting and innovative organizations.

This preview offers you a powerful introduction to the highly popular hands-on AMA seminar, Leading with Emotional Intelligence. Our instructor will explain how the seminar uses the F.L.I.P. Modes of Conversation as a “must have” tool for collaboration and relationship enhancement, and gives you other powerful insights into EI.

 
If you want to become the consummate emotionally intelligent leader, this preview provides the perfect opportunity to hear how the AMA seminar can help you achieve your goals.
  

What You Will Learn

Join us to get a preview of what you can expect when you take the seminar, including:

·        Emotional Intelligence: What it is and why it’s such a critical leadership skill 

·        The 4 cornerstones of EI  

·        How EI underpins and facilitates 6 core leadership competencies
