"Developing Your Emotional Intelligence" 

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Mark Shelley, Yavapai College Faculty, Business, Education, and Social Sciences Division.  Emotional Intelligence (EI) competencies are at the heart of effective workplace relationships and productivity; “EQ” is reported to be responsible for 58% of job performance!  This presentation emphasizes the practical application of EI concepts/skills that are the core of achieving personal awareness, connecting with others, managing stress, engaging healthy conflict.

Prepare for the workshop by reading the book Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves/Talentsmart (a book which continues to appear in the top ten Nielsen ratings!) and taking the EI quiz that’s included. Please contact Dee Skipton from PAHRA at Deeidra.Skipton@goodwillaz.org if you are interested in obtaining a copy of the book.
