Description
Join Bend YP and Brett Larson for 2023's first DevLab: Emotional Intelligence: What It Is, Why It's Important and How to Grow It.
This session is meant to grow knowledge and appreciation of the importance of emotional intelligence. In this DevLab, we will define emotional intelligence (E.I.) and share data as to why it is critical to success, not just for leaders but for individual contributors as well. We will then consider how we think and feel and apply mindfulness techniques to help us manage our behavior in a conscious, thoughtful way while avoiding reacting emotionally. This session is hands-on where we both learn and practice growing our E.I. skills. Among other things, we will learn:
- Deeper awareness of our thoughts and emotions (and those of others)
- How to give and receive feedback effectively
- The power of attitude in effecting our ability to influence others
- The importance of mindfulness techniques and consistent practice
