This is a new approach to leadership training for the modern workplace.
Looking around, you recognize that people look to you for decisions and guidance. And if you’re like many of us, you make decisions and give feedback logically, which fails to consider the emotional or interpersonal ramifications. We believe that once a leader couples logical thinking with an elevated EQ, they become more thoughtful, effective, and inspiring.
The goal of this workshop is to help business leaders utilize emotional intelligence when making decisions and giving or receiving feedback. We’ll leverage improv and play-based experiential exercises to guide you through reflection, awareness, and behavioral change.
By the end of it, you’ll be in a place of allowing more empathy and gratitude in your professional relationships. You’ll reflect on behaviors that you had not noticed before, as well as how those behaviors have impacted your team. And most important, throughout each activity and growth point, we’ll break down what we’re experiencing, and discuss its relevance to your role as a leader, so you can take actionable steps in the real world.
This class is for all male and male identifying participants looking to increase their leadership.
FAQ
What is emotional intelligence?
Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is a mode of behavior that is driven by awareness that we are all flawed. It is activated by patience and listening, emphasizes objective responses instead of reactionary responses and derives from empathy rather than ego.
How does EQ help develop leadership?
As leaders, we assume responsibility for the success of our team or organization, which can lead to stress and enormous pressure. Sometimes, this pressure results in aggressive and non-mindful communication and decision-making. By developing EQ, we foster a motivated team that is driven by purpose and highly engaged, rather than driven by pressure to achieve numerical success.
Why do you use improv and play?
Play is not entirely un-serious. The primary outcome of improv practice and play is creatively teaching new and repeatable behavior potentials to enhance learning. They are designed to move you out of your comfort zone and allow you to explore listening skills, responsiveness, and mental agility in a context outside of your norm
