SOLD OUT TIME: 6:00 p.m. Registration 6:30 p.m. Seminar COST: $50.00 FACILITATOR: Dr. June Donaldson, Certified Mediator and Arbitrator, Donaldson & Associates, Inc. TOPIC: Emotional Intelligence - "Don't leave home or go home, without it!" In 1995, TIME Magazine pointed out what astute leaders and business professionals have been saying about emotional intelligence, making it even more relevant today. "IQ (intellectual intelligence) gets you hired but EQ (emotional intelligence) gets you promoted." Current emotional intelligence research indicates that in all jobs, in every field, and at every level, emotional competence is twice as important as purely cognitive abilities and technical skills. (Goleman, 1998) Dr. June Donaldson's model of emotional intelligence is known as Emotional SMARTS!®. It identifies the A, B, C, Ds of being emotionally smart. The "A" Cornerstone relates to Awareness Skills; the "B" relates to appropriate Behaviours; the "C" relates to Contact or connection skills; and the "D" relates to Decision Making - core competencies said to be at the foundation of emotional intelligence. Dr. June (not to be confused with Dr. Laura or Dr. Ruth) will present an Emotional SMARTS!® overview in an informative, interactive, and fun seminar. You will leave the seminar with workable ideas on how to get and stay grounded, centered, and focused so you achieve even greater results for your time, money, energy, resources, and talent. Come and join us at the first seminar of 2004! Pre-Registration and advance payments are required. Rregistrations will be dealt with on a first-come, first-serve basis.
