Event Details

We now have over 3 decades of research on emotional intelligence (EI). Yale University has its
Centre for the Study of Emotional Intelligence. Google, Nike, Amazon, and Microsoft base their
leadership development programs on EI. The World Economic Forum has listed EI as a top-ten
employment skill. And yet, the concept of EI or EQ remains poorly understood by many. What
exactly is EI/EQ and why is it so important that HR professionals know and understand why it
matters to employee development and organizational effectiveness? Research provides us with
concrete, evidence-based models of EI, which allow us to assess levels of competency (EQ)
and provide roadmaps or ‘blueprints’ for development. Join David Cory, Canada-based coach, and leadership development specialist, as he shares with you what you need to know as an HR
professional for yourself and your own career and how to best help your employees to develop
their emotional intelligence skills.

Participants will be able to:

1. Explain what we mean by emotional intelligence and how it is foundational to the ability to make an impact, resilience, agility, and inclusion
2. Describe one of the world’s leading models of emotional intelligence
3. Take away 5 Keys for developing EI competencies
