“A leader, by most accepted understandings, has a healthy ego, is a model of confidence and stands as a paragon of strength. Showing weakness or emotion is considered a mistake. In fact, however, exhibiting honest vulnerability is the key to making connections with other people – the initial opening that allows a Powerful Conversation to take place… Powerful Conversations require us to be open and honest about our feelings, including our needs and weaknesses – our vulnerabilities – and gives the leader the licence to lead.” Phil Harkins, Powerful Conversations: How High Impact Leaders Communicate p. 24

The Emotionally Intelligent Leader -- What this Program is About...

Emotional Intelligence isn’t just a fringe activity anymore - it’s virtually become a brand-name for brilliant leadership.  More leaders now connect successful outcomes with their ability to tune into themselves and be more mindful of the impact their feelings have on the culture, performance and emotions of the people they lead.

Emotions percolate through every aspect of our lives. They affect how we think, who we are and how we live. They exert a powerful pull on how we behave and how we cope with change and stress. They dictate how well we manage our relationships and they ultimately determine how productive, happy, satisfied and effective we are. A manager’s leadership style and relationship management approach has a big impact on workplace climate, staff morale and ultimately team performance.

Adapted from our 2-day program, this 1-day fast-track seminar paces you through selected tools and practices to cultivate connectivity and more constructive team relationships. It overviews the 7 Practices of Emotionally Intelligent Leaders and some selected tools you can use to energise your leadership and make EI work for you! The clinic aims to help you:
