Description

This workshop can be customized for leaders in all fields.  An educational leader’s work is emotionally and psychologically demanding.  One’s ability to be both intra-personally and inter-personally intelligent is essential for meeting the challenges of the day-to-day work and achieving the academic and organizational outcomes of a school district.  This workshop will assist leaders at all levels in developing their self-awareness and interpersonal skill set so they are even better able to deal with the complex needs of their district, department or school, and will provide workshop participants with strategies and resources to help those they manage and support to do the same.
 
Participants will learn how to:
 
  • Increase their awareness to perceive emotions, both their own and those of others and to name emotions in a professional and neutral way
  • Develop additional resources to better manage emotions in appropriate way, both their own emotions and those of others
  • Learn techniques for building a sense of increased optimism in one’s employees in a school/district
  • Learn strategies for building resiliency in themselves and others in the face of challenging situations
