Discovering Emotional Intelligence

The Career Builder Workshop Series

“The ultimate task of Leadership is creating a space where creativity, enthusiasm and compassion arise spontaneously among all stakeholders.”

Why Develop Emotional Intelligence?

As you look around, read the literature, a theme you will discover is that the best companies within any industry invest in their employees by providing them with training to become a knowledgeable and committed workforce. Training is not simply another perk or reward for above-par job performance. It is an absolute necessity that pays for itself many times over in improved performance and business results.

The Career Builder program was designed for organizations that recognize the enormous capability of their employees and are willing to invest in their development. The combination of subject matter in the series was carefully selected to represent the most important topics in employee development. It is based upon 20+ years of research into those skill sets that will have the greatest impact upon the performance of employees and, therefore, upon the future of their organizations.

What You will Gain

As people attend the Career Builder workshops, they develop knowledge and skills that will significantly increase their personal effectiveness and ability to successfully interact and lead others. They will develop habits of success that will produce more capable people and more valuable employees. Never before have such diverse and critically important business, interpersonal, and leadership topics been combined into a training series with such impact.
