This 60-minute interactive workshop will help us identify what we and/or our members experience, and brainstorm strategies, both personal and organizational, that can be utilized to interrupt imposter syndrome.

You worked hard, know your academic area, applied it at your internship, and have had progressive leadership experiences, but when you are ready for that next step, did you know that your emotional intelligence skills can be just as imperative? According to a research study by CareerBuilder, “71% of employers say they value emotional intelligence over IQ.” Emotional intelligence or emotional quotient (EQ) is the ability to be aware, manage, and express your emotions. You approach relationships and work-related interactions in an empathetic manner by being sensitive to others and their experiences. It can help you solve problems compassionately. And no, this does not mean you are an employee’s or co-worker’s therapist. Instead, you practice self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. In this workshop, we will look at the work of researchers John Mayer and Peter Salovey who coined emotional intelligence, along with psychologist Daniel Goleman, who applied its principles to the work environment. We will also examine what emotional intelligence skills you need to succeed in any environment.
