Today's hyper-paced, team-oriented and global work environments require strong and effective personal/soft skills. Emotional intelligence is the ability to sense, understand and effectively apply emotions to be more collaborative and productive with others. Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. Emotional Intelligence is often cited as the fundamental difference in superior decision making, performance and employee engagement. This seminar focuses on practical applications of EI concepts rather than merely focusing on theory.

Eliminate Habits That Are Holding You Back!
Are bad habits holding you back?  Discover success both personally and professionally by taking control over bad habits and making permanent changes to improve yourself. You have the power to create positive habits for yourself.
Self-control is essential in breaking bad habits and it has huge implications for success. High productivity and a strong work ethics prove to be the foundation of self-control that develops good habits.
See the seven tips below:
Overuse of technology
Too much screen time prevents productive sleep.  Most of our favorite devices produce short-wavelength blue lights that affect our mood and sleep quality. When you are exposed to this light for an extended time in the evening, your production of melatonin is affected. All devices should be avoided after 7:00 pm.
Focus on your conversation
Conversations are more engaging, effective, and enjoyable if you ignore all distractions. Quit checking your phone for emails, texts, and updates at every turn. Turn off notifications and silence your phone in order to focus on those around you and the tasks at hand.
It is okay to say "No"
Research shows that it is easier to say "yes" than "no". There are many competing priorities in business and personal life and you need to decide what you can say no to every single day. You need to honor the projects and people that benefit your life most and say no to those that don't.
Stop focusing on toxic people
There will always be toxic people who have a way of getting under your skin and staying there. Dealing with such an individual can be difficult and draining, to say the least. In fact, it may challenge what you know about yourself and push you to the limits.  Stop focusing on toxic people, instead, practice being grateful for someone positive in your life.
Multitasking
To be successful; you must give meetings your full attention. Multitasking during meetings is disrespectful to your team and everyone else in the room. It shows that you are not interested in what anyone has to say. Avoid this distracting habit.
Gossip
Gossiping is poison to any team. It may be human nature for people to talk about each other, but that doesn't mean you have to put up with it. Gossip pushes people apart instead of pulling them together, and everyone knows you can't trust a gossiper.
Comparisons
You can't be happy when your life is spent comparing yourself to others. Being content gives you the power to focus on your life and work. By focusing on yourself, you become the master of your own happiness.
Change is difficult, but once you break the mold and focus on practicing self-control, you have the ability to accelerate your career to new levels and eliminate the bad habits. v

Five Reasons You Should Use Assessments
Assessments are extremely valuable and quite possibly the most underutilized tool when it comes to hiring.  Companies need to take the extra step as they try to hire and have an assessment done for each candidate.  You need to REALLY know who you are hiring and if they are the best choice for your business.
5 Reasons You Should Use Assessments Include:
1. Too expensive not to!
If you hire before your candidate has been through an assessment then you significantly increase your chances to have to rehire for the position. Talk about expensive!  Hiring is pricey when you consider the costs of screening and man-hours to make the hire.
An assessment would give you a more accurate picture of the person and their capabilities before you make that "buying decision."
2. Benefits Your Training Plan
If your potential new hire completes a pre-employment assessment, then you'll have a wealth of information about the training they need. Just think of all the info that you'll gain when it comes to your new employee!
The way they think, answer, respond and act will come out in their assessment. You'll gain many insights that you would not know any other way.
3. The Whole Picture
If you do a pre-employment assessment with each candidate you interview then you'll have a whole picture that explains more about them. This is so important!  Wouldn't it be helpful to see the good, the bad and the ugly from the get-go? I would think so and you will too if you add in assessments to your hiring process.
4. Data, Data, Data
One great thing about assessments when it comes to hiring is that it produces data. You can't judge a book by its cover! Data tells the true story about the strengths, weaknesses, and habits of your potential new hire. 
A hunch or thought is not worth it when it comes to hiring.  That little decision could cost you big. Data will help you make a more thorough choice.
5. Sets a Standard
By utilizing assessments, you'll find that you have a standard by which to hire.  You treat everyone the same. You look at everyone the same. There are a lot of wins in that!  If everyone goes through the same assessment then they are easier to compare.
In this day and age, an assessment is essential. Incorporate them in your hiring, immediately. v
