In the rapidly evolving landscape of the modern workplace, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) has emerged as a crucial skill set for navigating the complexities of emotional conversations, professional development, leadership, feedback, active listening, resilience, and growth through change.
Thus, EQ in Action was born!
What is EQ in Action?
TalentSmartEQ proudly presents “EQ in Action,” a suite of programs designed to help learners apply the EQ skills needed to address their biggest individual and organizational challenges and meet change and transformation head-on.
For now, the EQ in Action suite is only available to TalentSmartEQ Certified Trainers. This suite is an innovative learning initiative that transforms the theoretical knowledge of emotional intelligence into real-world skills. It presents a unique chance to expand your EQ toolkit and begin applying the strategies learned with immediate effect.
These programs offer important concepts that are simple–but not easy–to help you improve EQ skills and get the results you desire. We understand this is hard, so we are providing a simple approach to help. With the EQ in Action programs, your people will leave with more confidence and resources to continue learning even after the session. There are 4 weeks of learning work post-program–this is where the real work happens–when employees get to practice on the job, in real time.
Initially, the library of solutions will include five 2-hour interactive sessions tailored to further deepen your understanding and practical application of emotional intelligence. These sessions promise an immersive experience that will not only revisit fundamental EQ concepts but also equip you with actionable tools and strategies for navigating workplace challenges effectively.
What Each EQ in Action Session Offers
Navigating Emotional Conversations
This session explores the empathetic communication, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation skills needed to foster deeper understanding and stronger relationships while navigating high-emotion discussions.
The EQ Edge: Giving and Getting Better Feedback
This session is designed to equip you with effective strategies for delivering constructive feedback with empathy and receiving feedback gracefully. Learn how to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth within your team or organization.
The Art of Active Listening
Listening could arguably be the single most important skill – at and outside of work – and yet, most of us struggle to consistently listen at our best. In this program you will learn practical techniques to enhance communication and deepen connections to better drive results.
Thriving through Change
The adage holds true: the only constant in life is change. Unfortunately, knowing that doesn’t necessarily help us to navigate change any better.
