Emotional intelligence is the “something” in each of us that is a bit intangible. It affects how we manage behavior, navigate social complexities, and make personal decisions to achieve positive results.

 Through discussion and critical reflection, this workshop will provide you the opportunity to visit your ethical framework, which in turn deepens diversity practices informed by theories of emotional intelligence, ethical wisdom, anti-oppressive theories and practice.

 Learning Outcomes:

• Understand and articulate the importance of valuing self-reflective practice as a team working within a diversity strong and safe framework;
• Articulate the main theories and practices of emotional intelligence and regulation in the workplace;
• Demonstrate an increased capacity to critically reflect on one’s own practices, and
• Articulate the need for and elements of an ethical framework of professional communication with clients and colleagues.
