Understanding the impact of Personality and Emotional Intelligence on your performance and well-being by Ms Shanthi Rajan

Overview :

Individuals have a variety of personalities, values, and attitudes. Attitudes create an intention to behave in a certain way, but they do not always predict actual behaviors. Social + Emotional Intelligence (S+EI) is a form of intelligence that drives our success in work and in life and in our relationships with others. While the concept of social and emotional intelligence is starting to become more widely understood, many are still somewhat unsure of exactly what it is and how it can add to their success and in their personal lives. S+EI is about being aware of ourselves and others, in the moment, and using that awareness to manage ourselves (our behavior, our responses to stressful or challenging situations), and manage our relationships with others.

The truth is, the most successful people in life have the ability to manage themselves and manage their relationships with others. S+EI or sometimes referred to as 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.

The sessions aims to give participants an understanding of attitude, behavior and how these are formed and the impact it has on your overall performance. In addition to this, the session will focus on 2 key competencies; Emotional Self-awareness and Behavioural Self-control and how it helps you to be aware of your own emotions and those of others and to use that information to manage yourselves and manage your relationships with others.
