Free IATF Leadership TeleSeminar: Emotional Intelligence - Practical Applications for Teamwork Facilitators

Free Leadership Skills TeleSeminar on Thursday, June 25, 2009

TITLE of this TeleSeminar:

"Emotional Intelligence - Practical Applications for Teamwork Facilitators”

“Emotional Intelligence” (EQ) - - it’s a term practically every leader of note has heard of.

EQ is a term coined by Daniel Goleman who authored the wildly successful book “Emotional Intelligence - Why It Can Matter More Than IQ” (1996).

Here’s what Goleman says about the importance of EQ:

"In a study of skills that distinguish star performers in every field from entry-level jobs to executive positions, the single most important factor was not IQ, advanced degrees, or technical experience, it was EQ.”
  -- Daniel Goleman

A clear and competitive advantage is gained when leaders (and teams) strengthen EQ. 

But HOW exactly are Teamwork Facilitators supposed to APPLY this EQ stuff?  Make it real?

How do we close the gap between the theory of EQ and the practice of EQ?

That’s the question we’ll answer on Thursday June 25, 2009 when IATF Visiting Faculty Member Dr. Reldan Nadler, author of “The Leaders Playbook - How To Apply Emotional Intelligence,” shares his street-smart wisdom.

Dr. Nadler is a world-class expert when it comes to the practical application of Emotional Intelligence with leaders and teams and top companies seek out his advice -- Dr. Nadler's clients include Dreamworks SKG, Disney, At&T, MCI, Xerox, Lockheed-Martin Aerospace, and many more!

Questions addressed in this Free IATF TeleSeminar:

1. What is Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and why is it the most important component for star performance?
2. Why are EQ competencies critical for Teamwork Facilitators?
3. How is the Brain Neuroscience research influencing leadership today?
