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.
