Emotional Intelligence: Create a Culture of Social and Emotional Wellness!

CEUS: Prevention, CHES
Hours: 3
Domain: PS1: Personnel Supervision & Program Management

Description: Prevention organizations have a variety of challenges when it comes to leadership development and management. Considering that – in our field – we often have highly limited financial and personnel resources, these challenges are not surprising. These factors become even more problematic with the growing need for efficiency and effectiveness, all while trying to wear multiple hats. Effectively overcoming these challenges can make the difference between having the ability to build essential working relationships (both internal and external to your organization) that will make your prevention program skyrocket or continuing to experience nonstop struggles when working with others. Emotional intelligence is one (vital!) way to effectively overcome these challenges! EI will give you the foundation and guidance to help you interact, communicate, and collaborate successfully with all types of people, partners, and collaborators. It will also provide you with the highly needed skills on the job to realize effective relationships and teams.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define emotional intelligence and why it is so important.
2. Identify the five major components of emotional intelligence.
3. Apply effective skills that will boost your emotional intelligence and enhance prevention effectiveness.
