Webinar Description--Emotional Intelligence Your Secret Weapon Tuesday, June 8, 2010 - 12-1 PM (PT) Women In Technology-http://www.witi.com to Register When we look at developing female leaders, we have the opportunity to build on the strengths that women naturally bring to the table. Strengths like, collaboration, team building, adaptability and interpersonal skills. All of these skills are part of what we know today to be Emotional Intelligence. Take a look at how Jack Welch describes emotional intelligence for a leader. A leader's intelligence has to have a strong emotional component. He has to have high levels of self-awareness, maturity, and self-control. She must be able to withstand the heat, handle setbacks, and when those lucky moments arise, enjoy success with equal parts of joy and humility. No doubt Emotional Intelligence is more rare than book smarts, but my experience says it is actually more important in the making of a leader. You just can't ignore it. So many people are using the bad economy to justify their bad attitudes. You can no longer take the attitude that it is up to others to get along with you. In order to get the results you want from team members and colleagues, the more you understand how your behavior impacts others, the more you can manage the effectiveness of your relationships. Emotional intelligence is incredibly relevant to the workplace, especially for leadership, management, and teamwork. The workplace is traditionally one of the most emotionally unsafe environments.

In 2009 women represent more than 50% of the workforce in the U.S. There are more than two-thirds of working women who are breadwinners or co-breadwinners. This means that there has to be some major changes in the way women are viewed in their roles in the workplace. These changes are not just for the women but for men and children and families in our society. When we look at developing female leaders, we have the opportunity to build on the strengths that women naturally bring to the table.

I hope you are ready for the 'stretch' to the end of the year. Lately, I have been speaking and developing online courses on building skills in Emotional Intelligence. It is becoming more a science about how to get along with others. I thought I would share a few ideas that might help you as you push towards achieving your goals for 2009. So many are using the bad economy to justify their bad attitudes. You can no longer take the attitude that it is up to others to get along with you. In order to get the results you want from team members and colleagues, the more you understand how your behavior impacts others, the more you can manage the effectiveness of your relationships. We are a product of our daily experiences. Each experience creates a set of emotions, which ultimately drive our behavior. In his best-selling 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman reported that conventional measures of intelligence (IQ) account for 20% of a person's success. Being smart, possessing skills and being driven can get you only so far at work. To really succeed, it's important to be in possession of emotional competencies, often referred to as EQ (emotional quotient). Emotional intelligence is The ability to recognize, and understand, our emotions and the emotions of others Our skill at using this awareness to manage ourselves and to manage our relationships Emotional intelligence is incredibly relevant to the workplace, especially for leadership, management, and teamwork. The workplace is traditionally one of the most emotionally unsafe environments. Working professionals are often very protective of their image and what others think of them. The workplace is where working professionals spend most of their time. Tips for Developing Emotional Intelligence Be committed to honesty with self and others Take the time to reflect and understand self; take the time to do the same regarding others Listen Seek to understand, check and validate what you believe Maintain an awareness of your motives and the motives or needs of others Betty LaMarr, international speaker and author is President of Nadisa Associates an executive coaching and training company.

I am always trying to keep perspective about what I see in my mirror. What about you? It has been a busy summer and I have had a good time meeting some wonderful people at the Women Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) Conference in San Francisco and the Women in Technology International 20th Anniversary Conference in Santa Clara, California. There were some amazing and accomplished women who are not resting on their laurels. They were truly inspiring and encouraged me to always bring my 'A' Game! I met young women who are still in college but have already developed a viable technology business they were recognized for. There were women in the corporate environment who are thankful to have a job but continue to struggle with the conflict of job demands and personal values that are causing them to miss out on a family or the spiritual focus they want right now. Looking at July 4th, which truly signals that we are at the half-way point of 2009 and in the heart of summer, I decided to share some words of encouragement to move through the rest of this year with grace and purpose. Impact of Principles and Personalities You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read. Charles Tremendous Jones The answers to the challenges of life and business may not be found in the books you read or the people you meet, but often the answers come from what you discover about yourself as you interact with great principles and great personalities. Over the past five years what are the principles (from books) and who are the personalities (people) who have made you who you are today? Make a list of both and the impact they have made on you, your life and career. Five years will come and go and you will be somewhere else in 2014. Don't end up there by chance - choose some books and choose some people to interact with which will make you a better person, a better entrepreneur and a better member of society. SPECIAL BOOK PURCHASE: Discover Your Inner Strength Betty LaMarr explains The Head-Heart Connection. Stephen Covey presents A Value-Based Approach, Ken Blanchard discusses Attitude is Everything, and Brian Tracy explains Using Strategy to Discover Your Inner Strength.
