WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Session 1: Beyond Words: Mastering the Art of Effective Communication
Communication is made up of many parts. In fact, 93% of communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions, posture, body positioning and eye contact say more than the words we speak or write. Understanding the messages we are sending and interpreting can impact our ability to manage conflict, influence decisions and facilitate change. In this course, we will discuss the components of effective communication and provide strategies for improving our ability to communicate with purpose and confidence.
Duration: 60 minutes
Session 2: The Ultimate Power Skill: Leveraging Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, interpret and manage one’s emotions and their impact on others. People with high emotional intelligence are better communicators, more empathetic and better able to overcome challenges. In this course, we will examine how to develop the five components of emotional intelligence identified by psychologist Daniel Goleman: self-regulation, socials skills, self-awareness, empathy and motivation.
Duration: 60 minutes
Session 3: From Chaos to Control: Time Management and Organization Strategies that Boost Productivity and Efficiency
We all have the same number of hours in a day, so why does it seem like some people can achieve more than others? In this session, we will share small, yet exceedingly effective time management strategies you can incorporate to help you transition seamlessly, make the most of every minute and hold yourself accountable for executing.
Duration: 60 minutes
