Build Your EQ* Skills to Create Powerful Collaborations for Change
“Our environmental challenges today are real. We believe that everyone is a Green Leader, and that each of us has the power to activate others for a Greener, More Sustainable World.” –Beth Offenbacker, Ph.D. (Course Instructor)
Using the Acclaimed *Emotional Intelligence (E.Q.) Skills Training, you will:
Sharpen Your Skills for Activating Team Members, Peers, Project Partners, and Others at This Workshop
Establish Effective Personal Interactions and Team Building for a Greener, More Sustainable World
*What is E.Q.? It is a renowned management and leadership training which teaches us to recognize our unique strengths and abilities, and the strengths and abilities of others – which can be very different from our own. By understanding more about ourselves, and recognizing the attributes and patterns that motivate others, we are better able to lead others and create productive collaborations.
E.Q. paves the path to successful leadership and collaboration: In projects and team leadership, E.Q. will show why us we sometimes succeed beyond our expectations, and other times fall short of the mark despite best efforts! Or why collaboration with others can be difficult in one situation, yet seemingly easy and effortless in others. There’s a reason why these inconsistencies exist, and using E.Q. we can do something about it!
Working together for good, to help solve earth’s problems, is vital. And E.Q.! – Emotional Intelligence – can help us make this happen!
THE “BUILD YOUR E.Q. SKILLS” WORKSHOP
What will the workshop include? Tailored for people in the “green” fields, you will interact with others who have also experienced challenges with leading and managing people as part of green programs, projects, services, and initiatives. The workshop will guide you in answering the question, “How can I successfully motivate others, and myself, and harness our big ‘Why(s)’ in support of successful outcomes?”
Understanding that what is easy for you may not be easy for others, a good collaboration can make all the difference for positive outcomes.
Achieve more consistently positive results, whether you are a formal leader of others, or a leader-instigator in your own domain and cause. E.Q. provides productive strategies and approaches to employ with others when things become difficult, so that you can be more effective as a Green Leader and in your realm of engagement. You will learn effective leadership and management strategies for working with peers, colleagues, staff members, senior leaders, and volunteers as a Green Leader.
This workshop will engage your mind and have you on your feet, learning how to use your new knowledge of yourself and others to accomplish productive outcomes!
In the workshop, you will:
Identify a current workplace challenge and map specific actions to support successful outcomes.
Recognize your personal Brain Style and how this impacts your focus, decision-making, and drive in your role as a people manager.
Gain insight into the Brain Profiles of others, and how this can be used to improve interactions.
Identify your Brain Talents and how these can be leveraged to improve your effectiveness in leading, collaborating, and working with others to increase performance.
Practice interactive exercises to:
Hone our awareness of individual and team strengths and differences in order to put these skills into play.
Learn what specific team work looks like using a mini-bridge building exercise, among others.
Practice what you’ve just learned through small group “dry runs” to apply your new skills
What you will take home:
Awareness of how to navigate your own personal strengths and differences
Understanding what makes other people “tick” and valuing others’ similarities and differences
Increasing your effectiveness in motivating and collaborating for productive outcomes
Recognizing and utilizing the strengths, insights, and experiences of your team
Strategies for effectively engaging and activating others in support of Green outcomes
