Emotional Intelligence
The Secret Recipe For Successful People at Workplace.
Emotional Intelligence is increasingly relevant to
organizational development and developing people,
because the EQ principles provide a new way to
understand and assess people's behaviours,
management styles, attitudes, interpersonal skills,
and potential.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to identify,
use, understand, and manage emotions in positive
ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively,
empathize with others, overcome challenges, and
defuse conflict. Emotional intelligence impacts many
different aspects of your daily life, such as the way
you behave and the way you interact with others.
If you have a high emotional intelligence you are
able to recognize your own emotional state and the
emotional states of others and engage with people in
a way that draws them to you. You can use this
understanding of emotions to relate better to other
people, form healthier relationships, achieve greater
success at work, and lead a more fulfilling life.
The EQ concept argues that IQ, or conventional
intelligence, is too narrow; that there are wider areas
of Emotional Intelligence that dictate and enable how
successful we are. Success requires more than IQ
(Intelligence Quotient), which tended to be the
traditional measure of intelligence, ignoring essential
behavioural and character elements. We've all met
people who are academically brilliant and yet are
socially and inter-personally inept. And we know that
despite possessing a high IQ rating, success does not
automatically follow.
When it comes to happiness and success in life,
emotional intelligence (EQ) matters just as much as
intellectual ability (IQ). Emotional intelligence helps
you build stronger relationships, succeed at work,
and achieve your career and personal goals.

This workshop will provide the participants

with the essential understanding of the
importance of building emotional intelligent
in their lives so that they can develop the
appropriate control of their emotions to
become a more successful and effective
person.
The contents of the talk that will be
covered are as below:
The importance of EQ?
How to develop high EQ?
How is EQ related to stress management?
What are the causes of stress?
What are the emotional signals of stress?
The effects of chronic stress?
How to manage stress effectively?

Stress Management - A Healthier Way Of Living,

By Turning Water Into Wine.
Stress is a normal part of life. How you
deal with it will depend on your
attitude. You may become overwhelmed by
things that other people deal with
easily. Learning to keep a balance among
work, family and leisure is difficult
and needs skillful management of your
time. Planning helps, and so does
staying calm.
Stress can be the forces from the inside or
outside world affecting the
individual. The individual responds to
stress in ways that affect the individual

variety of emotional, behavioral, and
even physical symptoms, and the
symptoms of stress vary enormously
among different individuals.

Stress comes in many forms and affects

people of all ages and all walks of life. No
external standards can be applied to
predict stress levels in individuals -- one
need not have a traditionally stressful job
to experience workplace stress, just as a
parent of one child may experience more
parental stress than a parent of several
children..

What is stress?
How do you know you are stressed?
What are the 4 areas that contribute to
stress in your life?

Work-life Harmony
Are you feeling overworked? Do you find
challenging to juggle the demands
of your job and your life?
As our world seems to grow more and
more complex, many of us struggle to keep
up with each days challenges. Today,
many of us play more than one role in our
lives. We are an employee, a mother, a
friend and a daughter all at the same time.
Singapores workplace environment is a
tough and demanding one. Workers place
career as one of the top priorities in their
lives and often make personal sacrifices for
job advancements. On the other hand,
employers faced with increasing
manpower cost, embark on the unending
quest for higher productivity. It is not
surprising that our workers are feeling
more stressed and working longer hours,
says Michelle Lim, Chief Operating Officer
of JobsCentral Group.
According to Straits Times 23 Oct 12, a
poll of employees attitudes in 14
countries, Singapore ranked bottom in
terms of overall workplace happiness.
From this survey, people are beginning to
realize the importance of incorporating
work-life harmony so that they can
increase their overall workplace and family
happiness. 66% of Singapore workers say
that their workload has increased when
compared with six months ago, according
to a survey conducted by Singapores
leading online job portal, JobsCentral.

From this workshop, we will share with you

work-life harmony is a often
neglected concept that supports the efforts of
employees to split their time
and energy between work and other important
aspects of their lives. It is also
a daily effort to make time for family, friends,
community participation,
spirituality, personal growth, self care and
other personal activities.
The contents of the workshop are:
What is work-life harmony and how is it
differ from work-life balance?
Why we need work-life harmony?
Why is it so challenging to incorporate
work-life harmony?

Conflict Resolution In the Workplace

Conflict resolution is a skill that can be
practiced by any of us, but the trouble
is that we often practice it in ineffective ways.
Most of the mistakes we make stem from
making assumptions about what we think other
person wants or needs. And usually the conflict
at hand reflects a much deeper issue that each
side is trying to dance around.
A recent survey reveals that people face
conflict on a regular basis. The conflicts can
occur with anyone in their lives. Even best
friends and close siblings don't always think
alike or want the same thing. Although having
different opinions is not a big deal, but when
disagreements lead to heated arguments with
the portrayal of unkind words or behaviours,
tempers can flare and feelings can get hurt
consequentially. Then this can be very
disastrous and unhealthy in their lives and
affecting other people around them.
Conflicts are inevitable because people are
different; they have different memories,
experiences and ways of getting what they
need in life, and sooner or later those strategies
are going to conflict with one another. Its
natural to want to run away from conflict if
your stomach feels tight at the thought of
engaging in it or if youve lost friends or loved
ones because of conflicts in the past. However,
you can only run away for so long before a
conflict finds you anyway, and in addition on
some level you probably feel you are not being
your best self when you refuse to engage in
conflicts.

This insightful workshop will help you to

learn how to resolve conflicts
constructively. Once you learn how to do
things like respect differences and
reach compromises with others, you will
have these essential skills to draw on
whenever youre at odds with other people
in your lives.
The followings content that will be
covered are as below:
What is conflicts?
What are the root causes of conflicts?
What are the usual sources of conflicts?
Why is conflict resolution essential in
workplace?
What are the consequences of unresolved
conflicts?
Powerful strategies in the area of

Mental Resilience Triumph Over Adversities

Just as physical fitness helps our bodies to stay
strong, mental fitness helps us to achieve and
sustain a state of good mental health. When we
are mentally healthy, we enjoy our life and
environment, and the people in it. We can be
creative, learn, try new things, and take risks.
We are better able to cope with difficult times
in our personal and professional lives. We feel
the sadness and anger that can come with the
death of a loved one, a job loss or relationship
problems and other difficult events, but in
time, we are able to get on with and enjoy our
lives once again.
Mental resilience is the capacity of an entity to
withstand sudden, unexpected shocks, and
capable of recovering quickly afterwards.
Being resilient does not mean you wont
experience difficulty or stress. It is the process
of adapting well in the face of adversity,
trauma, tragedy, threats or even significant
sources of stress.
Based on the 2 factor assumption theory, the
future is inherently uncertain, so the system
needs to be as flexible as possible; failures
happen, so the system needs to be able to
identify failures early and not make things
worse as a result.
Resilience, like a muscle, grows stronger the
more you use it. But first you have to start
exercising. The acronym CONQUER! will
be shared as a guide to working the resilience
muscle so that you can become more effective
and resilient in the face of your life challanges.

In this workshop, you will learn numerous

critical psychological elements and
characteristics of resilience where you can
apply them to become more a mentally
resilient person that will triumph over
adversities in your life.

Social intelligence is a new kind of intelligence

individuals may possess an ample supply of
abstract intelligence (the IQ that academics,
psychologists, and educators have studied so
diligently), they may not have much social
intelligence (SI) the ability to get along with
others and to get them to cooperate. This
competency can be characterized as a basic
understanding of people (i.e., a kind of
strategic social awareness) and a set of
component skills for interacting successfully
with others. Thus, SI consists of both insight
and behaviour.
Getting along with going along. Can we
develop our social intelligence by discerning
the types of friends that we are mixing around
