We all know people who are in full control of their emotions. They’re calm in a crisis and make decisions sensitively, however stressful the situation. We also know people who can read the emotions of others. They understand what to say to make people feel better and how to inspire them to take action. People like this have high emotional intelligence. They have strong relationships and manage difficult situations calmly and effectively.

By the end of this session participants will be able to: • Prepare so that common mistakes can be easily avoided • Get their point across with more authority • Use a technique to get claimants to listen to them Who is running the session?
