A key asset for professionals is the ability to understand and deal effectively with the emotions that are part of working in diverse, multicultural environments. Too often our differences result in disruption, misunderstanding, and exclusion. Emotional Intelligence is widely acknowledged as a critical component of interpersonal and professional effectiveness. However, additional dimensions of Emotional Intelligence are required to bridge the complex differences that exist between human beings in today’s global and diverse organizations. This developmental program presents a new paradigm of the critical intersection of Emotional Intelligence and Diversity. We strive to equip individuals working in diverse arenas with an opportunity to gain insight, skills, and tools. This strategy is essential in building inclusive environments, to make the most effective use of differences and leverage the power of emotions to increase effectiveness.

This is an interactive and involving workshop that gives participants the insight, knowledge, and tools to use in their work with team members, clients and/or partners. Content is based in the academic disciplines of psychology, sociology, and anthropology, and processes are based on sound principles of adult education.
