Introducing emotional intelligence to project managers
(Workshop Friday, 14:00-17:30. Maximum 20 participants).
Project Managers depend on others to get the work done. Therefore successfully managing projects requires much more than technical skills. It also involves dealing with people, developing relationships, building teams, and motivating them, as well as influencing, collaborating, negotiating and managing conflicts. Emotional Intelligence significantly contributes to these kinds of behaviors. Thus, this workshop is designed to provide an overview of emotional intelligence and how it applies to the project management context. We will start with an individual assessment that reveals the strong and weak spots for each participant, followed by a discussion on how it impacts their relationships and the project’s success. Finally, we will use some group exercises to demonstrate different emotional intelligence competencies in action.

His music is a shaken cocktail with a vibrant afro-funk base and his lyrics talk about day-to-day fantasies in all different languages he knows.
