Presented by Marva Mount, MA, CCC-SLP, FNAP
VideoAudio
Course: #2001Level: Intermediate1.12 Hours
We all communicate daily in our work, with those we know and with those we do not know well. It is important always to remember that the intent of any message is not as important as the interpretation of the message we are giving. From that lens, we will explore what emotional intelligence (EQ) is, why it is important, and why, if we do not have a “high” EQ, we can find ourselves in difficult conversations with others, with no idea how to repair the damage.
