Maximize Productivity and Performance
Though today’s business world has more technology and remote working opportunities than ever, face-to-face relations still reign supreme. The modern team-oriented and fast-paced work environment can’t function optimally without strong business relationships built on empathy and understanding. Without Emotional Intelligence (EI) competencies, peak efficiency and competitive results cannot be achieved.
Emotional intelligence is the enduring heart of effective workplace performance and productivity. Though EI was once an elusive and mysterious concept, emotional intelligence training can demystify EI and break it down into an integrated set of skills. With the emotional intelligence skills you gain from our executive coaching service, you will be able to facilitate a highly effective, agile, and resilient organization.
Emotional Intelligence training with Work Smart Consulting focuses on the practical and immediate application of EI concepts, so you spend less time learning and more time doing. With active and earnest participation, you will learn and implement the EI skills that help you develop self-awareness, build healthy connections, manage stress, facilitate conflict and collaboration. EI is the antidote to unchecked stress and pressure so you exude an aura of resilience and optimism.
Emotional intelligence is an individual's ability to identify, regulate, and aptly respond to their own emotions and the emotions of others.
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is an individual’s ability to identify, regulate, and aptly respond to their own emotions and the emotions of others. As an umbrella term, we now consider emotional intelligence to include these skills:
- The ability to identify and name one’s own emotions (also known as emotional awareness)
- The ability to retarget those emotions and apply them to critical thinking tasks like problem-solving
- The ability to control emotions – this includes regulating your own emotions and restraining poor emotional responses when necessary while helping others to do the same
High emotional intelligence (EI) is a defining factor in that person’s ability to lead or cooperate in the workplace.

The Link Between Emotional Intelligence and Leadership
If you are both highly conscious of your own emotional states, even the negative ones—frustration, sadness, or anger—and are able to identify and manage them accordingly, you have the foundation of emotional intelligence.
Emotionally intelligent people are also in touch with the emotions that others experience. This sensitivity to emotional signals from your own mind and from your outside environment makes you a better leader, decision maker, friend, parent, and romantic partner.
If you feel your emotional intelligence is lacking in any aspect, don’t worry – with the right emotional intelligence training, these skills can be developed.

Utilizing Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace
Interest in the concept and value of emotional intelligence caught fire when researcher Goleman (1995) demonstrated EI improved performance work. In fact, it was the single biggest determination that predicted successful leadership.
The presence, or lack of emotional intelligence, is a critical factor for projecting one’s success in life. The truth is the competencies with the skillset of EI are essential in the workplace. This is true today in this Digital Age, with frequent disruption and demands.
Twenty-five years later, the research into EI’s effectiveness is still true. Emotional intelligence is now a highly-coveted workplace skill. According to a survey of hiring managers conducted by CareerBuilder, 75 percent of hiring managers place an employee’s EI as a top factor in the hiring decision.
People with highly developed emotional intelligence:
- Make better decisions
- Solve problems effectively and efficiently
- Resolve conflicts
- Remain calm under pressure
- Absorb, reflect, and respond to constructive criticism
People with weakened emotional intelligence:
- Do not take responsibility for their errors
- Play the role of the victim
- Have passive-aggressive or hostile communication skills
- Dismiss criticism directed towards them
- Are overly critical of others
