Topics, Sessions And Talks
Daniel Goleman’s bestseller Emotional Intelligence: Why It Matters More Than IQ, completely redefined our understanding of our emotions. He argues that IQ is important, but intellect alone is no guarantee of adeptness in managing one's own emotions or relationships. We need a different kind of intelligence to handle emotions in ourselves and others, and to make better personal decisions, resolve conflicts, or motivate ourselves or others.
Daniel Goleman examines the traits of exceptional teams, highlighting that emotional intelligence at the group level is crucial. These teams demonstrate self-awareness, effective self-management, and empathy, fostering strong relationships. Members recognize each other's strengths and limitations, establish agreed-upon behaviors, and proactively resolve conflicts. Daniel emphasizes that psychological safety enhances belonging, which in turn promotes inclusion and diversity. Attendees will learn how to build and sustain high-performing teams that achieve remarkable results through emotional intelligence.
