What is emotional intelligence? How do we measure it, or improve it? How does it relate to our ability to think?
If your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy, what’s the impact on a company or organization if this relationship – between people and their minds and emotions – improves?
Can high performance teams have low anxiety and stress? Does emotional turmoil increase or decrease our effectiveness, or trustworthiness? Can we trust negative emotions?
In this interactive presentation, we’ll explore some basic principles of emotional intelligence and mental fitness, and the impact that it can have on our lives, relationships, and teams.
