Emotional Intelligence Training
Put your team’s mental health first to cultivate a trusting environment. We offer training classes in South Africa and Cambodia for businesses of all sizes.
You and your staff will gain a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence and gain skills that can improve both your professional and personal life. Emotional intelligence in leadership is especially impactful for the whole company. These skills include self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, social awareness, and relationship skills.
Self-awareness
Self-awareness is the ability to consider and understand your own emotions, thoughts, values, and experiences, and how these can influence your actions. Improving your self-awareness can allow you to more effectively identify your individual strengths and weaknesses in a range of areas, and therefore potentially improve your decision making and self management (two other core competencies).
Self-management
The self-management core competency focuses on an individual's ability to regulate and control their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. For example, this can mean improving areas like stress management, organizational skills, your ability to set goals, impulse control, and self-discipline.
As well as leading to more responsible decision making and a greater awareness of safety concerns, improving your self-management can enhance your work performance, your ability to set and work towards goals, and your ability to control emotionally driven behavior.
Teams are also taught that by managing other resources like their time, energy, money, possessions, and talents, they will feel good about themselves and feel like they have more control over what happens to them in school and life.
Responsible decision making
Responsible decision making is the ability required to make positive and constructive choices based on individual and social factors like personal and academic goals, ethical standards, safety concerns, and social norms. It requires you to consider the consequences of different potential actions, understand your strengths and limitations, and know when to ask for more help when needed in making certain important decisions.
Social awareness
The social awareness competency is about improving skills like your ability to empathize with others, your ability to take the perspective of those in different situations to you, your awareness of other diverse individuals and groups, and your ability to make sure you are treating others fairly.
This can help you to establish and maintain healthy relationships and social interactions, and therefore have a positive impact on your family, work, and community, especially when undertaking social-emotional learning within these groups.
With regards to equity and diversity, greater social awareness can assist your ability to understand the perspective of and empathize with other individuals, particularly surrounding characteristics like gender, race, religion, age, culture, class, and financial circumstances, and will ensure that your ability to make decisions in social settings like organizations takes diversity into account.
Relationship skills
The relationship skills competency concerns your ability to make positive connections with others, as well as your ability to take their emotions into account in different situations and social interactions, in order to establish and maintain healthy, mutually rewarding relationships.
This also includes skills like listening well, communicating effectively, understanding appropriate and inappropriate social behaviors, your ability to compromise, your ability to consider the emotions, thoughts, and values of others, and your ability to take the perspective of and empathize with others.
As well as in personal situations with family and friends, relationship skills are important in professional areas with colleagues and bosses. If you have the ability to make positive relationships with those you learn and work with, you are contributing to a more positive work environment.
