Emotional Intelligence and Neuroscience - Meet Yoga
2016-09-23 02:30 - 07:00 (America/Chicago) | Minneapolis Golf Club, 2001 Flag Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN, 55426, United States
This workshop is designed for the leader in you who may need some personal attention. You will raise your self-awareness of your emotional intelligence patterns, gain an understanding of social neuroscience, and identify development practices to support you being at choice in the moment.
Did you know that a leader’s negative words have a negative contagion effect on an employee’s brain and performance? Yes, it is now personal. Emotional intelligence has been described as a true predictor of success. The good news is, is that unlike IQ, it can be developed. We will pack the workshop and a 1:1 coaching session full of tailored solutions to help you become more emotionally intelligent and successful.
Prior to the Workshop

Two weeks prior to the session you will receive a link to the EQ-I 2.0 Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment from Multi-Health Systems. This is one of the only valid and reliable emotional intelligence assessments on the market. You will review your results in the workshop.

At the Workshop

We will start the workshop off with a 45 minute yoga practice. No prior yoga experience necessary. It will be very basic and can be done from a mat or a chair. It will be accessible to everyone. You will learn that your breath is going to be one of your greatest assets to being mindful, allowing you to be at choice in difficult situations. Come sit on a mat and breathe, experience your parasympathetic nervous system kicking into gear for optimal performance. Please bring a mat. Not a fan of yoga? Join us for breakfast at 8:30am.

Enjoy an organic breakfast.
