Communication Skills Training Focuses on Emotional Intelligence
September 15, 2006
Boston, MA - Emotional intelligence, often called EQ, is critical to a professional's success in the business world. EQ is the ability to connect with clients and co-workers on an emotional level, and includes such "soft skills" as empathy, self-awareness, emotional maturity, and cooperation. Having a highly developed EQ can make the difference between a mediocre job history and a stellar career.
Neels & Company - Strategic Business Communication, provides five soft skills seminars to professional services firms across the country, all of which address emotional intelligence:
- Strategic Recruiting, Effective Interviewing and Employee Retention
- Four Generations in One Office -- Can't We All Just Get Along?
- Networking and Building a Book of Business
- Business Etiquette 101
- Cross-cultural Connection
These seminars are offered in half-day, one-day and two-day programs for groups of 4 to 20 attendees.
"By using behavioral interviewing techniques, companies can evaluate a job applicant's level of emotion intelligence," reports Gretchen Neels, President of Neels & Company. "Being able to identify solid candidates who will become excellent, productive team members and managers is what every company wants, but when you look at turnover rates, that isn't what is happening."
Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Neels & Company provides corporate training in all areas of business communication.
