USE YOUR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: LAND THE JOB

Presented by: Jan Victor, Director of Career Services, Trinity International University         

Emotional intelligence drives our
success in work and in life and in our relationships with others.  What is
emotional intelligence?  How can it add to my success on the job and in my
personal life?  Jan will bring that vision to you and help you understand
what it is and how it can be used to help position you to secure employment.

     Emotional intelligence is about being
aware of ourselves and others, in the moment, and using that awareness to
manage our behavior and responses to stressful or challenging situations, and to
manage our relationships with others.  Emotional intelligence (EI or EQ)
encompasses many skill sets, including stress management, resilience, managing
conflict productively, powerful influencing skills, catalyzing change, teamwork
and collaboration, building trust and much more.  Unfortunately, we see it
most when it’s lacking – think of the boss who explodes when a deadline is
missed, or the co-worker whom no one trusts.  These people are limited by
their lack of EQ skills.  The good news?   EQ can be learned and
strengthened throughout our lives.  It’s never too late to add these
essential skills to your career strategy.
