Why EQ Training
Remote working has been around for a while and will continue to prevail as companies try to adapt to working in an increasingly digitized world. Over 60% of the global population is currently active on the internet, increasing numbers by the day.
According to the World Economic Forum, 78% of business leaders think hybrid and home-working will hurt productivity.
Even before the pandemic became a reality, the WHO found that Worldwide, 615 million people suffer from depression and anxiety and cost the global workforce an estimated $1 trillion in lost productivity each year.
The risk for burnout keeps growing as the rising numbers of pandemic burnout should send shivers up our spine.
But how do we motivate people in an age of disruption?
How do we help employees navigate the sudden changes and continuous disruption in dealing with unforeseen events?
How do we help people manage a new work-life balance when the workload keeps piling up?
How do we teach people to shoulder their stress without taking on others’ pressure and stress from their immediate environment?
How do we help and equip students to navigate the new digital ways of learning at a time where social isolation, unemployment, and financial distress are part of their everyday reality?
It’s time to help people develop their EQ Toolbox to help people thrive beyond the disruptions and build new coping mechanisms to overcome life’s challenges, adversity, and struggles.
The EQ Toolbox
The concept of emotional intelligence has brought new depth to the understanding of human intelligence; it enhanced the ability to evaluate one’s general or overall intelligence.
Not unlike cognitive intelligence, however, emotional intelligence has been difficult to define.
Broadly speaking, emotional intelligence addresses the emotional, personal, social, and survival dimensions of intelligence, which are often more important for daily functioning than the more traditional cognitive aspects of intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is concerned with understanding oneself and others, relating to people, and adapting to and coping with the immediate surroundings in order to be more successful in dealing with environmental demands.
Emotional intelligence is tactical (immediate functioning), while cognitive intelligence is strategic (long-term capacity). Emotional intelligence helps to predict success, because it reflects how a person applies knowledge to the immediate situation.
In a way, to measure emotional intelligence is to measure one’s “common sense” and ability to get along in the world.
At Thrive with EQ, we work with the scientifically validated EQ-i 2.0 Model. The model of emotional intelligence is comprised of fifteen factors across five categories of functioning.
These skills, which form the building blocks of abilities such as communication, resilience, and time management, can be mapped theoretically and empirically to job competencies, productivity, academic performance, and other measures of success to help predict and improve functioning.
What Sets Us Apart?
Emotional Intelligence is often used at an abstract level related to self-development. Having worked for two decades in a large international organization with people from all layers and over 40 countries, I understand that Emotional Intelligence is the foundation for constructive collaboration. Teams are not built overnight and need more than processes and technology alone to thrive in the workplace.
What sets us apart is our human approach. Textbook theory or PowerPoint presentations are of no use if people cannot translate what these learnings mean in their map of the world and how they can implement it. In an era where many people feel overstimulated with digital information and social media clutter, at Thrive with EQ, I focus on “learning by doing” concepts.
Nadja leverages her long-standing crisis management experience in NATO to design and facilitate collaborative training where participants simulate and exercise. Through role-play and various emotional disassociation techniques, we provide a safe space for participants to become aware of their cognitive biases and work together to overcome them and thrive in the 21st Century.
