Emotional Intelligence: Useful Tools for the HR Practitioner – August 15, 2005

Think Emotional Intelligence is your score on a paper and pencil test that somehow measures an individual's ability to succeed? Think again. This practical seminar will improve your ability to recognize, manage, and use the information communicated by emotions to advance goals and agendas. Unfortunately, most popular work on the subject describes the behavior of emotionally intelligent people, and fails to provide the tools that can improve your skill. This seminar fills the gap. In one enjoyable day, you can store up on your knowledge, and gain important information few people have. (6 HRCI Credit Hours)
