Emotional Intelligence, Summer 2013
This hands-on workshop will complement what you are learning in your department, preparing you to use the skills of emotional intelligence in your career and life. This is NOT a "self-help" course. It is intended for those who realize there is always more to learn around important, complex topics and that emotional intelligence is as crucial in the workplace as the more traditional forms of intelligence that are emphasized in academic life.
Many lectures will include guided practice in aspects of emotional intelligence such as stress management, communication skill building and enhancing positive emotion. These experiences are designed to enhance each participant's abilities to better deal with academic, career, and life issues.
We welcome graduate students from all disciplines who want to cross the boundaries between psychology and neuropsychology, business and human values, and are open to exploring ways of thinking that emphasize honest reflection, openness to experience and self-awareness. Through a series of hands-on exercises, a range of assessments and lectures about aspects of emotional competence and success, participants can broaden their vision of success and what satisfies them.
Topics will include:
- What is emotional intelligence
- What research says about the value of emotional intelligence
- How emotional intelligence can be taught
- Assessing emotional intelligence
- Enhancing our own emotional intelligence
- Recognizing our strengths and weaknesses
- Designing programs that teach emotional intelligence
- Why emotional intelligence is as important as IQ for success
