The Indiana University East Center for Leadership Development will host a workshop on “EQ and You: Creating a Personalized Emotional Intelligence Development Plan” from 1-4 p.m. on Thursday, April 2, in the Whitewater Hall Community Room. Participants must RSVP online.

Emotional Intelligence is a term that has come into popular use to describe a set of personal competencies that are closely associated with effective functioning. Effective EQ has been tied to success in every aspect of life and the good news is that these competencies can be developed.

Participants in this session will have the opportunity to take the EQi instrument and to use their results as the starting point for charting a path to accomplishing their unique personal and professional goals.

The workshop will be presented by Fredricka Joyner, associate professor and director of the IU East Center for Leadership Development and the Master’s in Management program. Joyner has over three decades of business experience, providing leadership, organization, and community development consulting services to a diverse client list that  includes manufacturing and service organizations, professional practices, health and education coalitions, non-profits, government departments, and social service agencies.

Over the past five years, Joyner has provided training and consulting services related to managing across the generations. She has also designed and delivered a four-day leadership development curriculum to almost 2000 managers in a global Fortune 500 company. Most recently, she has been providing intensive executive coaching to high potential managers who have been tasked with expanding into international markets.

Registration is required; RSVP at iue.edu/leadership. The $100 fee for this workshop will cover the cost of the EQi instrument.
