Habit Mastery and Personal Effectiveness

1 Day Workshop

Habits are present throughout our everyday lives. They are the reason we fail but also the reason we succeed. They are the reason we are effective and why we are ineffective. They are the reason we are happy and why we are highly dissatisfied with our lives.

Habits decide what actions we take on a consistent basis. Since our consistent actions determine the direction of our life, our habits ultimately decide much of the outcome of our lives. Among the various changes we undertake, habit change is the most crucial change that brings far-reaching impact on our performance and effectiveness. Changing habits is a skill. Habit change need not be oppressive and sacrificial but can be exciting and fun.

Emotional Intelligence

2 Day Workshop

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to use emotions effectively, and it’s the foundation of high-performing relationships. This course builds your capacity to develop this core capacity. 

Emotional Intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel and act. It shapes our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves. It defines how and what we learn; it allows us to set priorities; it determines the majority of our daily actions. 

People are often told to control their emotions, to suppress feeling like anger, joy or fear, and cut them off from the decision-making process. This old paradigm suggests that emotions make us less effective; nothing could be farther from reality. 

Emotional Intelligence training helps participants develop their emotional intelligence for greater success and fulfillment in the workplace and in life. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Self-Awareness: Recognizing our own emotional states and how they affect our thoughts, behaviours, and decisions is the key to cultivating self-awareness.
• Emotional Regulation: Emotional regulation has to do with our ability to control strong emotions by not acting on raw feelings in an impulsive or destructive manner.
• Empathy: Developing empathy skills enhances our experiences, relationships, and a general understanding of ourselves, other people, and the world around us.
• Social Skills: Good social skills are the summation of all of the components of Ei: self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy.

Coaching Skills for Managers and Leaders

2 Day Workshop

Disruptive change has become the norm. Twenty-first-century managers simply don’t have all the right answers. To cope with this new reality, companies are moving away from traditional command-and-control practices and toward something very different: a model in which managers are like a Coach who gives encouragement and support rather than instructions. 

Coaching is emerging as one of the most effective ways for Managers or Leaders to bring out the best in people. Using Coaching Skills has become a critical competency for leadership in global companies. Awareness of the value of coaching is growing. The success and ongoing growth of coaching is due to one fact: it works.
