Description

Using Carl Steiner Emotional Literacy work we start to explore personal power. Power is generally thought of as control, mainly people and money. We emulate powerful people in the belief that in the real world, emotions are best kept under tight rein. But the sort of personal power derived from the security of satisfying relationships and fruitful work is ultimately incompatible with a tight rein on our emotions. A quizz is filled out and the scores give the delegates a barometer of where they are on the Emotional Awareness Scale.

Benefits

Emotional Intelligence requires that our emotions be listened to and expressed in a productive way. Delegates gain a practical understanding of core components of Emotional Intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, and social/relationship awareness.
