EQ in Asian Cultures

"The rules of work are changing. We are being judged by a new yardstick: not just by how smart we are, or by our training and expertise, but how well we handle ourselves and each other." Daniel Goleman, author of the influential work, "Working with Emotional Intelligence," says the problem is not with emotionality but with its appropriate expressions.

Emotional Intelligence, sometimes referred to as EQ, continues to be valued very highly for career success because of its role in Leadership and Management.

This workshop will focus on developing the ability to bring intelligence to our emotions. The programme reflects the Asian cultural context.
