Course Information
Target audience
This course is for you if you are:
- Interested in practical steps to immediately increase Emotional Quotient (EQ) and leadership potential
- A leader or potential leader looking to develop skills in motivating yourself and others
- Wanting to make a constructive impact when interacting with diverse stakeholders
- Wishing to influence the political arena within your organisation.
Preparatory work
Prior to attending the workshop each participant will be required to complete two activities:
- The Emotional Intelligence Test (approximately 40 – 45 minutes) which is to be taken online and paid for by individual participants. This will cost a maximum of £15.
- A self-reflection form (approximately 10 minutes).
2 weeks prior to the workshop, participants will receive the on-line request with instructions on how to complete the Emotional Intelligence Test. A self-reflection template will also be emailed for completion.
Learning objectives
This workshop will cover the following learning objectives:
- Attain an in-depth understanding of your EQ
- Increase self-awareness and understand the potential impact your style has on others
- Practise and develop the relatively weaker areas of your EQ
- Further develop your empathetic nature to enhance your leadership effectiveness.
During the workshop
Each participant will be expected to share their leadership style limitations in a safe learning environment. A combination of diagnostic personality interpretation, group work, psychological theory, individual reflection time and facilitated discussion will be used – providing powerful insights and realistic recommendations for immediate improvement. Participants should expect an intensive introduction to leadership development and come with an open mind for some impromptu challenges!

Each participant will leave with:
- A brief emotional intelligence report
- Personalised tips for how to develop your emotional intelligence
- An appreciation of how different organisations develop their leaders
- Feedback on how to enhance your leadership style
