What is this lunch talk about?
A useful response draws on both emotional information and the facts of the situation. Explore how awareness of your own feelings can improve the way you interpret and respond to other people.
Short reflection and discussion exercises link emotional intelligence with leadership, trust and resilience. Participants identify one habit for a difficult interaction or a recurring pressure point.
Choose from 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120, for 1 to 25 participants onsite, virtually or at an arranged venue. Situations can reflect your team's relationships and emotional demands.
