Realize your Potential with EQ in Action: A Targeted Way to Meet Workplace Transformation Head-on

What is EQ in Action?

TalentSmartEQ proudly presents “EQ in Action,” a suite of programs designed to help learners apply the EQ skills needed to address their biggest individual and organizational challenges and meet change and transformation head-on.

This suite is an innovative learning initiative that transforms the theoretical knowledge of emotional intelligence into real-world skills. It presents a unique chance to expand your EQ toolkit and begin applying the strategies learned with immediate effect.

These programs offer simple and important concepts–but not easy–to help you improve EQ skills and get the results you desire. We understand this is hard, so we are providing a simple approach to help. With the EQ in Action programs, your people will leave with more confidence and resources to continue learning even after the session. There are 4 weeks of learning work post-program–this is where the real work happens–when employees get to practice on the job, in real-time.

Initially, the library of solutions will include five 2-hour interactive sessions tailored to further deepen your understanding and practical application of emotional intelligence. These sessions promise an immersive experience that will not only revisit fundamental EQ concepts but also equip you with actionable tools and strategies for navigating workplace challenges effectively.

What Each EQ in Action Session Offers

Navigating Emotional Conversations

This session explores the empathetic communication, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation skills needed to foster deeper understanding and stronger relationships while navigating high-emotion discussions.

The EQ Edge: Giving and Getting Better Feedback

This session is designed to equip you with effective strategies for delivering constructive feedback with empathy and receiving feedback gracefully. Learn how to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth within your team or organization.

The Art of Active Listening

Listening could arguably be the single most important skill – at and outside of work – and yet, most of us struggle to consistently listen at our best. In this program, you will learn practical techniques to enhance communication and deepen connections to better drive results.

Thriving through Change

The adage holds true: the only constant in life is change. Unfortunately, knowing that doesn’t necessarily help us to navigate change any better. This session is an exploration of resilience and adaptability, learning how to embrace uncertainty, navigate transitions, and cultivate a mindset that enables you to not only survive but thrive in times of change.

Wellbeing: Driving Results with Resilience

This session will focus on practical tools and strategies for managing stress, understanding the power and benefits of mindfulness, and building resilience. Gain insights into building emotional strength and resilience both personally and professionally in a supportive and interactive environment.
