Emotional Intelligence in an AI World
February 21, 2024Â |Â 12:00 - 2:00 PM ET
Research tells us that ~95% of people think they're self-aware, while only 10-15% actually are. The higher up you go in an organization’s leadership chart, the fewer touch points leaders have for honest, authentic feedback that can be translated into action, growth, and impact. How are leaders leading in a way that melds gut instinct with data to further their mission?
Emotional intelligence is the difference maker for successful executive leadership, and in turn, more resilient organizations, movements, and ecosystems. Just like with any other skill, emotional intelligence can be improved with attention, knowledge, and practice. A crucial first step towards improving your emotional intelligence is to assess your current strengths and challenges to inform your plan of action.
The EQi-2.0 is an emotional intelligence assessment that supports leaders and teams in:
- creating awareness around areas of strength and challenges
- developing a concrete plan for applying that awareness Â
- balancing competencies with the understanding that even an overused strength can undo leadership potential
Join us in this highly interactive 2-hour workshop that explores the value of emotional intelligence in a choose-your-own-misadventure kind of world where so many complex dynamics are at play – a global pandemic, the racial uprising in America, intergenerational workplaces, the climate crisis, and attacks on civil liberties, just to name a few. There is a call to lead in new ways given how artificial intelligence might impact leadership and movement spaces.
The moment is calling for more emotional intelligence. How are you answering?
Â
After attending this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to:Â
- take their own EQi-2.0 assessment and,Â
- attend a follow up analysis session on 3/5/24 from 12-2 PM EST.
Some funding for assessments may be made available. More details about funding will be announced at the workshop.Â
