Applied EQ - Emotional Intelligence at Work
Applied EQ: Emotional Intelligence at Work - Emotional intelligence is a general set
of skills that can be applied to anyone and any environment. Understanding EQ and
mastering the skills involving emotional intelligence will greatly help you succeed
in any role. It can also help you to connect with your feelings, turn intention into
action, and make informed decisions about what matters most to you.

In this course, participants will learn about why we struggle with change despite
our best intentions as well as a researched based technique for successfully accomplishing
change in our complex and demanding world.
Giving & Receiving Feedback
This webinar is designed to assist managers and supervisors with giving feedback effectively
and receiving feedback constructively to promote strong work relationships and encourage
high performing teams.
Goal Planning
In order to optimize progress with the goals you set, it is important to align the
goal with your personal interests and values and to have a specific plan to make your
goal-directed behavior become habit. In this webinar you will learn best practices
for putting your goals into action as well as explore hidden commitments that may
be preventing you from accomplishing your goals.

Why Critical Thinking is Critical in the 21st Century Workplace
21st century workplaces are characterized by rapid change, accelerated technological
breakthroughs, and a greater demand for higher levels of education and training required
of previous generations. Developing critical thinking skills leads to higher levels
of independence, self-trust, and the capacity to exercise initiative; all essential
components for thriving in every level of a modern organization.

CUSTOMIZED WEBINARS
Through customized webinars, HR Learning & Talent Development facilitators can tailor training content to meet a team’s specific needs, determined by research-based assessments, best practices and tools, in an interactive, remote environment.
Team Building with CliftonStrengths
CliftonStrengths, an online talent assessment created by Gallup Inc., is a powerful tool for developing high-performing teams. In this customized workshop, members of a team will take the CliftonStrengths online assessment individually (the cost is approximately $15 per person, purchased by the requesting department, directly through the vendor), then the facilitator will guide the group through the corresponding CliftonStrengths activities that are proven to increase engagement, encourage collaboration, and improve productivity and results. Participants will take away knowledge and skills on how to develop their own, and their team's, efficiency and performance.
