A key piece of this workshop is administration of the EQI (BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory) which provides the participants with a personalized detailed report of their current state of emotional intelligence. The workshop is hands-on and experiential and provides the framework for further individual development.

EQ & You

This workshop is based on the work of Kate Cannon, M.Ed. In this workshop participants will take the important first step in developing their emotional intelligence. They will learn about their EQ strengths and limitations and develop a plan to improve in the areas they select. In advance of the workshop, participants will complete the Bar-On EQ-i®, which is the first validated assessment of emotional intelligence. Their EQ-i® report provides feedback on their emotional intelligence in the general areas of intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, adaptability, stress management and general mood. There are 15 individual competencies in these five domains and they will receive a normative score for each. An aggregate report for the team or group is also available.

Mentoring

Mentoring is one of the greatest gifts one can give another. In this methodology PPI assumes the approach that mentor and mentoree are interchangeable and sets the field for deep learning in a collaborative spirit where each participant suspends judgment, remains present and open, and learns and grows as a result. This is a customized training and is on a daily rate.

Implicit Career Search Workshops

The Implicit Career Search workshop is designed to help me decide on my career. More specifically, this workshop helps me decide what it is that I choose to contribute to my community. The power of this workshop is that the approach is inside-out, helping me find what my implicit career is (implicit meaning available but not apparent). Far too often I choose a career for some externally perceived reason that all too frequently ends with a deep feeling of dissatisfaction. This workshop allows me to find out what I am best suited to do because I choose to do it and “it’s me.” Call for details.
