PASADENA | Leadership and Relational Skills
Research conducted by Harvard University, Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford Research Center concluded that 85% of job success comes from well-developed soft skills and people skills.
It's no secret and comes to no surprise to hear that patience, kindness, humility, consideration, cooperation, and listening to others were instrumental in job performance and career advancement. What is lesser-known, however, is how to achieve those positive states of being or return to them in the midst of turmoil, disruption, opposition, drama, and hostility. The ability to recover and return to these emotional states in real-time is not an inherited trait nor something carried in our DNA. But rather they are acquired skills. Join us in this exploration of the neurobiology of relational leadership and emotional IQ. Learn the skills that provide the ability to return to peace and joy from negative emotions in 90 seconds or less. Thrive in your business and personal life with the relational skills advantage.
