EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE FOR A SUCCESSFUL ACADEMIC OR NON-ACADEMIC CAREER
In this workshop, we will examine the positive and negative influences of moods and emotions at work, define emotional intelligence and demonstrate how it influences the behaviors and consequences of emotions, and discuss strategies to effectively use and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others.
A well-developed set of social and emotional skills will help doctoral candidates enjoy and thrive in the stressful and politically charged university environment and pave the way towards a successful career, whether in academia or outside academia.
Since emotional intelligence is highly context dependent, we will discuss how languages and cultures influence emotions at work and the potential ways to deal with social situations depending on language and culture.
Depending on the participants' needs and goals, we will then apply these skills to topics such as:
- Stress and conflict management
- Inspiring and influencing others
- Managing team dynamics and
- Navigating the politics and power games within academia and other institutions
This is an interactive course in which the relationships and experiences shared within the group are just as crucial for the learning experience as the interaction with the professor.
