Emotional Intelligence Training For Trainers

Emotional Intelligence Training is often reserved for managers and leaders.  Why?  Well, largely because managers and leaders are responsible for, and expected to, enable and engage team members to perform at, or near, their best each and every day.  Quite a challenge!

But one audience overlooked all too easily is Emotional Intelligence Training for trainers.  The very people who are charged with educating and encouraging your employees to undertake their role effectively, and connect with your customers, internal and external, in a professional manner.

But why is Emotional Intelligence Training so important and valuable for your organisation's training team and HR partners?

Emotional Intelligence Training can help you and your colleagues to learn some proven, easy to use 'soft skills' that can deliver 'hard' results, and it doesn't matter whether you are a private, public or charitable organisation.  These Emotional Intelligence skills and competencies are as relevant and effective in virtually any environment.

Some of the specific benefits of Emotional Intelligence Training for Trainers include:

  1. How to develop empathy to engage learners (including reluctant learners) in their self-development.
  2. Developing emotional resilience and greater ability to bounce back from learning 'failures' more quickly and easily.
  3. Boosting collaboration in the learning environment through improved facilitation competence rather than the 'Chalk and Talk' approach.  Remember, just because you are presenting does not mean that your audience members are learning!
  4. Promoting more personal ownership of applying learning without appearing autocratic.
The benefits of Emotional Intelligence Training for Trainers are immense and these are just a few.  So, if you want to boost the effectiveness of your management training, team building, assertiveness skills, coaching skills or an abundance of other vital skills to help your organisation prosper, developing Emotionally Intelligent Managers and Trainers can definitely help you.
