The YOU in Leadership

The old adage says that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Like it or not, emotions play an important role in our daily lives and can have a profound impact on group dynamics. Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself, of others, and of groups. Knowing that no one does nonprofit work alone, understanding how self-awareness can preserve a harmonious workflow can greatly affect productivity within the office, morale during Board meetings, confidence in meetings with funders, empathy in one-on-one interactions with clients, and any number of situations you face daily. Come learn how understanding your EI competencies and other self-awareness tools can vastly influence your work and leadership style.
