Mindful Leadership
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is having the awareness of, and the ability to, utilize your emotions in given situations. No matter if you have positional leadership or are in a place to influence from within your organization or department, understanding EQ will increase your effectiveness.
Mindfulness, or the practice of presence in the moment, is an intentional cultivation of your awareness. At times this might mean awareness of breath, of sensation, and of noticing feelings and emotions that arise at a given moment. As a leader, mindfulness helps you cultivate the presence you want in given situations, and allows you to have choice in your actions and reactions.
Together, we will focus on the combination of these two essential skills, and will shine a light on how to access your full-self in situations that call for your leadership.
You will:
• Understand Goleman’s 4 Quadrant and BarOn’s EQi 2.0 models of Emotional Intelligence
• Understand the neuroscience of emotions and strategies to access the response you choose
• Participate in mini-mindfulness sessions and experiment with several mindfulness apps
• Walk away with an understanding of personal strengths and areas to develop, and an action plan for immediate next steps
