CIPD
Chiltern
Branch held a very successful meeting in Gerrards Cross on the
16th June. Delegates had enjoyed the evening so much and have suggested a follow-up
session in the very near future
CIPD
(The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) professionals gained
an insight into the role of Emotional Intelligence in the workplace when they
attended a recent Branch meeting. At the June meeting of the CIPD Chiltern Branch
Gráinne
Suter and Irene
Clarke from jml Training and Consultancy presented a taster
session on the value of Emotional Intelligence within organisations.
Emotional
Intelligence (EI) is defined as the ability to understand our own emotions and
those of our colleagues. Tuning into emotions and understanding their impact on
all aspects of our working life enables us to maximize individual, team and organisational
performance. EI is now widely recognized as a core part of a leader or manager's
development and is a key indicator in predicting the success of effective managers.
The
jml Training Team demonstrated how to build Emotional Intelligence into
a range of leadership and team development training. They invited the audience
to complete an Emotional Intelligence Web sheet and then to explore a range of
techniques to improve self-awareness and self-management, cornerstones of EI.
EI
can improve relationships at work as it cuts out the petty jealousies and politics
that get in the way of co-operation at work. A team using their Emotional Intelligence
is more likely to collaborate, build bonds to other teams and have the honest
conversations necessary to achieve it's organisational objectives.
The
CIPD Chiltern Branch members were keen and lively participators in the session
describing it as 'interesting and rewarding'. Many of the delegates had enjoyed
the evening so much that on the evaluation form there were suggestions for a follow-up
session with the jml Training and Consultancy team in the future.
The
Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development is the United Kingdom's
leading professional body for those involved in the management and development.
They have 130,000 individual members and their objectives are to lead in the development
and promotion of good practice in the field of the management and development
of people, for application both by professional members and by their organisational
colleagues.
