· Emotional Intelligence-The Key to Great
Leadership!
|
|
|
Transform your life and your work
AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
People with well- developed emotional skills are more likely to be
successful in their lives, mastering the habits that foster their own
productivity. People who cannot gain some control over their emotional
life fight inner battles that hamper their ability for focused work,
clear thought and contentment. Extensive research confirms the importance
and value to individuals and organizations of developing emotional
intelligence (EI/EQ) competencies.
  Join us at the
March 9th HRA- NCA breakfast presentation and learn from Margaret
Echols and Sandy Mobley, Master Certified Coaches &
Trainers, all about Emotional Intelligence and its relevance to
leadership. You'll leave knowing how to align your finest personal and
professional characteristics to become the best you can be.
This is a morning presentation -
join us for continental breakfast and networking, beginning at 8:00 am. Many thanks to our program sponsor: SHPS,
Inc.
