Emotional Intelligence For Change

“The only constant in life is change”

Heraclitus (Greek philosopher of Ephesus, 500 BC)

We all face change every day – whether it is a simple change in the weather, a change to our work schedule or changes in our family life.

This only constant in life, the only thing we can be sure will happen, affects everyone and everybody deals with change differently.  If you can create awareness of the way you respond to life events and organisational change and manage your emotional response to the event you're well on your way to effectively managing change.

Emotional intelligence consists of a range of fundamental skills that allow you to confidently respond to people and changing situations.

Managing the way you respond to events and your ability to communicate effectively is essential for leaders of organisational change and for managing personal change.  It's not what happens that matters but how you and others respond to change that really counts.

Being emotionally intelligent is the underlying structure that underpins and supports effective responses to events, people and change.  In the workplace and in our personal lives being emotionally intelligent is an essential component to building resilience for mental health and successfully managing change.

The ability to quickly and easily adapt to change is often a competitive advantage for a leader.  Emotionally intelligent leaders and managers are also able to help others manage difficult change.  

This course has been designed to explore the role of emotional intelligence in change looking at change at the personal and organisational level.  It explores working with emotional needs through conscious choices fundamental to effective change.
