Managing Employees through Emotional Intelligence

This workshop will guide participants through the core components of EI, strategies to enhance student and employee EI, and techniques to manage performance and resolve conflicts. Participants will leave with practical tools to promote collaboration, communication, and productivity within their units.
Business and Professional Communication
Sharpen your communication skills in this hands-on workshop that emphasizes clarity, tone, and professionalism in both written and oral formats. Participants will learn self-editing techniques, strategies to enhance message integrity, and approaches to communicate with confidence and accountability in the workplace.
Decision Making and Negotiation
Strengthen your decision-making and negotiation skills through a mix of lecture and interactive role-play. Learn how to prepare for and conduct effective negotiations, understand key differences between distributive and integrative strategies, and recognize the ethical dimensions of negotiation. This workshop also explores conflict management and communication strategies that support effective problem-solving in professional settings.
Motivating Your Team
Motivating Your Team explores how individual needs shape motivation and why employees may respond differently to the same reward. Participants examine what drives people at work and how they decide where to focus their effort, distinguishing intrinsic rewards such as a sense of accomplishment from extrinsic rewards such as recognition or pay. Participants also learn how leaders can reinforce positive behaviors, design meaningful jobs, and give employees more say in their work to strengthen motivation and engagement.
