Hi - Bill Cropper here with an update on leadership coaching clinics we have coming up in Toowoomba... Difficult Discussions ~ Constructive Conversations ~ Emotional Intelligence for Leaders and Staff... Discounts for all Registrations lodged by May 15… In times of uncertainty and change, anxiety and concern can stir even the most collected demeanour to edginess, ill-humour or other less productive forms of expression. At these times, more than ever, social and emotional self-awareness and consciously controlling disruptive emotions is vital to sustain healthy relationships and foster a positive, productive culture at work. The Change Forum coaching clinics equip leaders and teams with the conversational, relational and emotional skills they need to bring out the best in themselves and create cohesive, connective work cultures and vibrant, flexible, high-performing teams. Follow these links to read more about the impact our emotions have on teams - and some practices you can adopt for a more connective style of leadership - and why not join us at one of our upcoming coaching clinics in your region to find out how you can strengthen your relational and conversational skills to better lead and support others in these turbulent times...

Council EI at Work: Working with Emotional Intelligence TOOWOOMBA June 1 : BRISBANE June 17 An interactive 1-day seminar for non-supervisory STAFF We believe it’s just as important for staff as it is for leaders, to understand and manage emotions and become more emotionally aware. EI is the basis for building great teamwork and positive, productive workplaces; raising levels of achievement, focus, optimism, joy, purpose and perseverance – and decreasing dysfunctional behaviour and performance drawbacks that set off negative emotional chain-reactions and turn work climates toxic. This 1-day down-to-earth, lively seminar shows staff what EI is, why it matters and how to start applying basic EI tools and behaviours at work. Here’s a fantastic way to give a boost to your staff’s motivation and commitment levels not to mention improving the way they relate to you and the rest of the team! If you want to bring out the best in your staff you’ll want to send them along to this stimulating seminar… After attending, your staff should:
