Emotional Intelligence

Research shows that individuals with a high level of awareness and control over their emotions develop positive relationships and position themselves for success. Often called "emotional intelligence" or "EQ," this soft skill can be especially useful in high-stress environments.

Join this workshop to learn how to harness and develop your EQ while identifying and managing triggers that can derail your EQ.

Who Should Attend?

This program is appropriate for military and veteran survivors who are one year out from loss wanting to learn new skills to supplement, enhance and or support their grief journey.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Learn methods to avoid self-sabotaging outcomes by altering how you perceive and respond to emotionally-charged situations.
