Emotional Intelligence for Change

“The only constant in life is change”

Heraclitus (Greek philosopher of Ephesus, 500 BC)

We all face change every day – whether it is a simple change in the weather, a change to our work schedule or changes in our family life.

This only constant in life, the only thing we can be sure will happen, affects everyone and everybody deals with change differently. If you can create awareness of the way you respond to life events and organizational change and manage your emotional response to the event you're well on your way to effectively managing change.

This course's focus is on Emotional Intelligence for Change. 

Emotional intelligence for change refers to the ability to recognize and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others, in order to effectively navigate change.

With emotional intelligence, an individual can be better equipped to lead and influence others during times of change and transition.  They can also recognize their own emotional reactions and adjust them to be more effective in the face of adversity, allowing them to take on a more proactive role in creating positive change.  Ultimately, emotional intelligence for change is a powerful tool for creating a better future.

Emotional intelligence consists of a range of fundamental skills that enable you to confidently respond to people and changing situations.  This type of intelligence allows you, as a leader, to understand better the motivations, feelings, and needs of people around you who will be involved with change, and adapt to evolving situations accordingly.  Emotional intelligence also enables you to handle conflict, deal with stress, and maintain relationships more effectively in challenging times.

Managing the way you respond to events and your ability to communicate effectively is essential for change leadership, for managing people effectively through change and for managing personal change.  It's not what happens that matters but how you and others response to change that really counts.

Being emotionally intelligent is the underlying structure that underpins and supports effective responses to events, people and change.  In the workplace and in our personal lives being emotionally intelligent is an essential component to building resilience for mental health and successfully managing people and change.

The ability to quickly and easily adapt to change is often a competitive advantage for a change leader.  Emotionally intelligent leaders and managers are also able to help others manage difficult change. 

Practically applying emotional intelligence at work and using emotional intelligence well during change will help you drive change leadership positively and effectively.
