Friday, September 18 — 9 am to 4 pm — ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Freddie Barrett offers a revolutionary approach to achieving balance. This highly experiential process begins from the premise that managing energy, not time, is the key to achieving balance and addresses the question: how does full engagement contribute to balance? We explore the questions: what is most important? and how do you spend your time? Since work-life balance is unique to each person, you will create a personalized action plan that looks at the roles you play, aligns these with what's most important to you, and focuses on the next steps that will make the biggest difference in achieving balance.
 
Key Insights from Essential Questions of Work-Life Balance:
  • Insight 1: Managing energy, not time, is to key to renewal and life balance
  • Insight 2: Creating a visual representation of "how I spent my week" can be surprising and lead to meaningful change
  • Insight 3: Clarifying what is most important enables decisions to be made more easily that lead to work-life balance
Friday, October 16 — 9 am to 12:30 pm — EXPANDING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Freddie Barrett offers a highly experiential and insightful process for understanding and expanding emotional intelligence. Research by the Center for Creative Leadership has found that the primary cause of derailment in leaders involves deficits in emotional competence (EQ). You can learn how to expand your EQ!
 
The process begins with the online EQ in Action emotional intelligence assessment. You will watch nine workplace scenarios and record your experience. Freddie will conduct a 90-minute personal consultation reviewing your EQ in Action profile. You will understand your fitness ratings for self-awareness, self-regulation and empathy. You will learn specific practices for expanding your EQ. The final wrap up will give you the opportunity to engage with other leaders to apply what you've learned.
 
Key Insights of EXPANDING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE:
  • Insight 1: Unlike IQ, you can always build EQ (emotional intelligence) capacity through applying specific awareness practices
  • Insight 2: Self-regulation or self-soothing utilizes four relationship strategies based on levels of trust of self and others
  • Insight 3: People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel
