EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: the innate potential to feel, use, communicate, recognize, remember, learn from, manage, and understand emotions.
This workshop will enable you to be more in tune with your own emotions, and those of your congregation – simply a must for resilient and effective leadership in the midst of the inevitable conflicts of community life. Don’t miss this opportunity!
Listen to a podcast with Susan Nienaber about the event.
It was an opportunity for in-depth reflection on myself, to reaffirm my level of emotional intelligence and my conflict resolution capabilities.”
Drawing on exciting recent research in emotional intelligence (a measure of emotionally and socially intelligent behavior), recent approaches to conflict dynamics (how behavior affects conflict and negotiation), and Ronald Heifitz’s widely-appreciated model of adaptive leadership, the seminar will help you to engage members of your congregation emotionally and to deal more effectively with conflict when it emerges in your church. You will
-
Gain insight into aspects of emotional intelligence and how it can be used to improve leadership in a congregation
-
Learn about what it means to be a “resonant” leader who can inspire congregants through empathy, hope and compassion
-
Explore how you currently deal with conflict and develop plans for handling it more effectively
This seminar will use a variety of experiential learning methods. Each participant will take the self-report versions of the BarOn EQi and the Conflict Dynamics Profile assessment instruments and receive individual coaching on the results.
