The Emotionally Effective Leader

 

When people think of great leadership, it rarely hinges on the leader’s ability to demonstrate technical skills or knowledge. Great leadership is about how a leader engages those around them, remains true to their word, and supports both individual and team growth. It’s also about the leader’s willingness to take action, deal with the everyday “tough stuff”, and not avoid the difficult situations. Drew will explore how emotional intelligence supports these key leadership behaviors and will provide real-world examples to demonstrate. Participants will walk away having identified specific areas of focus to grow in their leadership abilities and with practical exercises for development.

Better Decision-Making Through EI

 

As human beings, and leaders, we make hundreds of decisions every single day. Some decisions are more easily made than others, but having a better understanding of your own decision-making process is key to making decisions with more ease and confidence. By first understanding how we make decisions and then looking at the role of emotional intelligence in the decision-making process, participants will gain a deeper understanding of their relative strengths and opportunities for growth in their own decision-making style. Drew will explore specific strategies for improving decision-making processes and will provide participants with practical tips that they can apply immediately. Participants will walk away feeling empowered in their decision-making abilities and eager to implement these new strategies.
