Overview

Most people have heard of IQ (intelligence quotient), and since you are a lawyer or legal professional, your IQ is likely above average. But what about your "EQ" - your "emotional intelligence quotient"? Emotional intelligence is defined as "the ability to recognize, understand,  and regulate our own and others' emotions."  

While we know how IQ impacts our professional success, this interactive program, presented by Kendra Brodin, Founder & CEO of EsquireWell, will show how increasing your emotional intelligence and ability to regulate your emotions will help you improve your practice, your client relationships, your interactions with colleagues, and your own health and well-being.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Break down what emotional intelligence is and why it matters 
  2. Analyze the research that shows that emotionally intelligent lawyers and legal  professionals have more successful practices, deeper client relationships, stronger  connections with colleagues, and greater physical and mental health 
  3. Compare and contrast how lawyers rate compared to other professionals on emotional  intelligence, where they fall short, and why they struggle 
  4. Identify tools for emotional regulation, even when emotions are running high and Suggest ways to increase the emotional intelligence of your legal organization which  studies have proven reduces attrition, creates higher-functioning teams, and leads to  increased well-being
  5. Determine your own emotional intelligence and areas for growth
