Research has shown time and again high IQ does not necessarily translate to success. Individuals may be academically or technically competent but may not utilize the fundamental resources available to them which allow others to connect with them. This is the underlying missing link which segregates brain competence (IQ, technical, academia) and emotional competence (self-awareness, social skills, perseverance, empathy).

In a world where technology is beginning to replace peoples’ competence, there may come a time when we may just lose the heart and soul of the corporation. EQ is the need dimension which takes service from being good to delightful. Being EQ competent not only enhances your chances of success at work but also your success in other aspects of your life, through happier and healthier relationships. Practicing the elements related to emotional intelligence in service helps people work with passion, access the intrinsic drive that makes every encounter a people centred one. You will notice the difference when warmth and a love for what one does is missing in any encounter.

This 2-day workshop will equip you with skills and knowledge on how to know your customers better, manage their expectations and meet their needs. It will also help you develop the essential skills necessary for you to lead a happier, more success filled life, enhance interpersonal connections with your customers and colleagues and at the same time provide a new perspective on your life experiences. Learn how to harness your feelings, attitudes, moods and behaviors into energy that will work for you and not against you.

Activities conducted will enhance your ability to communicate effectively, get in touch with your emotions and work better with one another. Through role play and case studies, you will gain more confidence in how to handle difficult customers, to take service recovery steps and to go the extra mile to delight your customer.
