About this Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Training Course
Emotional intelligence (EQ) training is about understanding why people do what they do, by understanding how their emotions affect their performance.
Our performance is strongly affected by how we feel, emotionally.
- Positive emotions; optimism, enthusiasm, commitment and confidence, tend to produce positive results
- Negative emotions: anger, upset, worry, anxiety, stress, tend to produce negative results
We want to use that understanding to improve the way we think, talk, act, and respond to various work situations.
Our aim is to improve performance by improving our mode of thinking, feeling, communicating, acting and reacting to events.
The course had a refreshingly different approach to other similar corporate coaching. Good pace and not dull. The trainer's presentation was fast paced but this went with the subject matter. A very good trainer with lots of interaction between trainer and group.

Introductions
Introductions
Here is the question we want to answer:
“How can you get the best performance from yourself and others?”
The emotional management cycle
Your emotions tend to show up in your external results.
The process looks like this.
- How negative emotions tend to create negative results.
- How positive emotions tend to create positive results.
Harness the Power of Great Expectations.
How to use the emotional management cycle to your advantage.
Conversation control
Learn to take control of the content of your thoughts and conversations and direct them away from too much talking about:
- The Bad past. Which tends to create emotions of anger and upset
- The Bad future. Which tends to create emotions of fear anxiousness upset and and worry
Target your conversation onto a BETTER FUTURE; which will tend to create emotions of optimism, enthusiasm, motivation and energy.
How to identify the creation of negative emotions at work
Let us look at some examples of what negative language some people have to put up with at work:
- Our Fail-Safe-Method of handling any form of negative emotion inducing language
- How to manage the person who uses words as weapons.
There was a wide range of content, all of which was interesting and useful and I hope I will be able to use in my development. The trainer presented clearly and enthusiastically. Beforehand I was apprehensive, but was immediately put at ease and felt involved throughout. Very useful and enjoyable too.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Training - Day One - PM
8 Part SMART
Positive emotions are triggered most easily by thinking about our goals for the future.
Therefore, we need to ask people what are their goals for the future.
The role of an emotional manager is to help the team to feel able to achieve goals, the first skill of the leader is to properly set and communicate a valuable goal.
Communication and Body language.
Like it or not, people do judge you partly on appearance.
What they see, is what you’ll get.
Impression management: How you APPEAR to be, will partly determine how you are received.
Posture. Appearance. Touch. Eye contact. Hand and arm gestures. Facial expression. Orientation. Proximity. Scent. Accessories.
Reframe a negative situation into a positive situation.

Final summary
Finish and leave
Very insightful. Good to understand different ways of thinking and how other people think. Especially how I can think and how I can be more positive. The presentation was very good. Easy to understand the diagrams. Also the mini 'tests' were good to confirm learning.
The Course Training Method
The training method follows this general pattern - the training is very interactive and interesting:
- The trainer gives a clear explanation of the point in question with specific examples.
- Then, the delegates practice by doing an exercise with each other.
- The delegates practice by doing an exercise with the trainer.
- All points are supported with full written notes to take away.
-
Delegates are asked to write down an associated action, for each point made.
(At the end of the day, we have about twenty such actions, from which the delegates choose six which are the most personally meaningful).
Note: we do not believe in placing people in any situation of embarrassment by demanding that they 'perform' in front of the whole group. So you can relax: come on this course and be at ease; ready to learn new skills!
