Developing Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace

The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) is offering this lunchtime seminar for those interested in understanding what is meant by Emotional Intelligence (EI) and discovering ways to strengthen EI capacities within the workplace. The dismissive stance, “When you come to work, leave your feelings at home,” will not serve a person interested in maintaining satisfying and productive work environments. The fact is, emotional states ebb and flow throughout the day and people, more commonly, derail from emotional failings than lack of technical skills. Individuals harnessing the power of their emotions experience better relational outcomes and maximize their opportunity for both personal and professional success. A University of Miami FSAP employee assistance professional will facilitate the seminar. FSAP Health and Wellness seminars are offered as part of the University of Miami’s Well ’Canes Program.

Coral Gables campus: Tuesday, May 3, from 12 to 1 p.m. at the University Center, Flamingo Ballroom A; and Friday, May 6, from 12 to 1 p.m. at Gables One Tower, Room 1100J.

Miller School of Medicine campus: Wednesday, May 4, from 12 to 1 p.m. at Dominion Parking Garage, Room 155.

Rosenstiel School campus: Thursday, May 5, from 12 to 1 p.m. in the Dean’s Conference Room, SLAB 107.

To register visit ULearn. For help with ULearn, call the Professional Development and Training Office at 305-284-5110. To receive email announcements of upcoming seminars, call the FSAP at 305-284-6604.
