Increasing your effectiveness through understanding people

with Leslie Choudhury

Communications guru, international speaker, coach, trainer, consultant and author

Intelligence (or IQ) is not enough to succeed in business today. More and more companies are recognising the benefits of developing their staff in the area of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Why? Because when we deal with people, we are dealing not only with their minds but also their feelings, and studies show that we gravitate towards people who make us feel good, who motivate us, and who make us want to strive for excellence. This is the essence of EQ.

In this highly experiential workshop, Leslie Choudhury guides you through the 5 core competencies of EQ, and shows you essential skills that will help you develop trusting and meaningful relationships with everyone. You will be able to use these skills immediately, and will see positive improvements in your social and professional competence.

Emotional intelligence brings out the best in you and the best in others. It results in positive emotions, initiative and innovation, improved performance, and personal and professional success. EQ is an indispensable tool for everyone.

Join Leslie for an enlightening, motivating day of improving your EQ!
