On May 17, Dallas HR was pleased to offer a new one-day seminar Emotional Intelligence – Useful Tools for the HR Practitioner as a service to our members, their staff and associates, and other local HR Associations. The inaugural program was held in a one-day format and was very well received. Attendees received 6 hours of HR continuing education credit for attending.

The program was designed to demystify the subject of emotional intelligence and provided distilled principles that are useful on the job. By taking emotional intelligence out of the realm of theory, participants were able to integrate their current knowledge with lessons from recent research, and leave with additional approaches to manage workplace emotions in a constructive and adaptive manner. The course gave tips on how to better understand, recognize, manage, and use emotional information. In addition, the course reviewed the nine ways emotions are generated, and built a set of eight practical tools that have immediate workplace application.

Topics covered include: the foundation of credible argument, rules and principles that govern thoughts and emotions, management of emotional triggers, managing emotions by managing internal dialog, recognizing subtle emotional cues, using imagination and memory to call up needed emotions, using entrainment to lead the emotions of others, tactical violation of the status quo, and much more. The course will be offered again on August 23 at Brookhaven Country club from 9AM to 4:30 PM. Pre-registration is required. Sign up now to take advantage of a great introductory rate. For more information, download a brochure at www.dallashr.org or call the Dallas HR office at 214-631-8775. Lunch, convenient parking, and refreshments provided.
