Overview

Emotional intelligence (also known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the
understanding of how to use and manage your own emotions in positive ways to
communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges, defuse
conflict and relieve stress. By understanding your EQ and learning about the
signs in others, you can positively transform
how you think, feel, engage with, influence and inspire others. Implementing the
EQ knowledge we cover in the course will help you become more effective at work,
by getting the best from you and other people. You’ll be able to increase
your team’s performance, improve decision making and build effective workplace
relationships. This will help you reduce sources of stress and conflict at work.

What will I cover?

The course will take you through three key areas of EQ – discovering what they
are and how to use them effectively in person or working remotely:
• Self-awareness – harness your EQ to improve your personal communications
skills and sense of wellbeing
• Social awareness – understand why people tend to behave the way they do and
how to get the best from them
• Self-management – decide how to respond before you act – controlling and
redirecting undesirable behaviours.

What will I learn?

• Understanding your own emotions, moods and drivers and their effect on others.
• Identify key triggers and how to manage them
• Understand different personality traits and how these affect behaviour
• Building on personality traits to communicate more effectively with everyone
around you and reduce potential conflict,       whether verbally or via email
• How to relate to and persuade others more easily.

TRAINER PROFILE: LOU O’CONNELL MBE

A very successful 22-year career in the British Army has given Lou a wealth of
positive and negative experiences that shaped her interest in mental health,
emotional intelligence and resilience. Operational tours of Northern Ireland,
Bosnia and Kosovo, serving as a military policewoman, and later as an army
welfare worker providing social and occupational welfare support to soldiers and
their families have helped to give her a first-hand understanding of how to
positively assist people to work well together, putting well-being first.

Lou draws on her experiences and training to provide learning and development in
the workplace. She loves facilitating the learning of others and her style has
been described as a breath of fresh air, honest, straight talking, down to
earth, humorous yet compassionate. Never being one to sit still, since retiring
from the Army in 2018 she has been chasing her dream of becoming a Registered
Mental Health Nurse. Clinical placements within the NHS and private sector have
given her experience of supporting those with mental illness in a number of
settings such as the community, acute mental health hospitals, forensic settings
and prison.

Lou has decades of voluntary experience supporting others, mainly within the
bereavement and mental health fields. This was recognised in 2015 when she was
awarded an MBE in the Queens New Year’s Honours List for her work with bereaved
military families, an award which simultaneously embarrasses her and validates
her priorities and choices made along the way.
