Emotional Intelligence Training Program

Based on emotional intelligence and social neuroscience, Leading with Emotional Intelligence is a powerful, interactive leadership learning program that boosts essential leadership skills for 2024 and beyond.

With a personalised program that’s optimised for your business and your team, you can expect to not only explore emotional intelligence but learn about what your team stands to gain from implementing their training.

The training is a deep dive into the benefits of understanding your emotions, learning to discover the positives and negatives of your own mindset, whilst instigating important changes that will benefit your team, your organisation and the wider community.

What is emotional intelligence training?

Emotional intelligence training is educating individuals and teams about their emotions and the impact they have on those around them.

Emotional intelligence training is a deep dive into our mindsets, communication techniques and emotions that shape every decision we make, both at work and at home. Combining advanced research, neuroscience and practical exercises, our training has the power to develop healthier habits that will lead to transformative changes in your business through better leadership.

Our Genos International Emotional Intelligence assessments provide your team with the capacity to understand their emotions better and become aware of how they impact their behaviour and decision making, enhancing how your team connects, communicates and collaborates with each other.

Why is emotional intelligence training important?

As an individual, the benefits of understanding emotional intelligence are significant. You’ll be able to communicate more effectively, both about how you’re feeling and when discussing how others are feeling. It allows for deeper thoughts about seemingly small decisions that can end up having huge consequences for yourself and those around you.

If you’re a business owner, it’s important to help get the best from your team and represent your business in the best light possible to your clients.

People who have gone through emotional intelligence training have a better understanding of their decision-making and emotional responses.
