of oneself and is knowledgeable of his or her attributes. A self-conscious person has a
proper understanding of his or her emotions as well as the emotions of other people.

An emotionally-intelligent worker is capable of:
 Identifying his or her feelings: An emotionally-intelligent person should be capable of
assessing himself so as to have a thorough knowledge of his or her feelings. This is
commendable because, once a person has such an understanding, he or she can manage to
manipulate the feelings and make a good use of them.
 Knowing how to interpret his or her emotions: Interpretation is a key quality that can
enable one to understand and know everything about the emotional thought and feelings
that they have (https://youtu.be/4bBRfNQxvtA ).
 Understanding the ways the emotions can affect other people: An emotionally-intelligent
person should be able to understand the emotions of others and know its effect on them.
Such an understanding is important because it can enable one to know how to relate with
each and every one without encountering any unnecessary problems.

of regulating his or her emotions. Self-control is a key attribute that should be nurtured in
every one because it can play a significant role in the improvement of the quality of
relationship between individuals.

Comments
In this workshop, I am looking forward to presenting a moving, insightful, and life-
changing presentation to my audience. The main topic of discussion will be emotional
intelligence. Based on my long period of experience, I have discovered that emotional
intelligence is one of the most important attributes that should be possessed by everyone. All the
employees should have excellent emotional intelligence competencies because it can play a key
role I determining their individual and organizational successes. Therefore, by getting an
opportunity to facilitate this workshop, I hope to achieve a lot.

First and foremost, I would like to teach my audience about emotional intelligence, its
meaning, and what it means to them as workers. I expect to begin the workshop by introducing
my audience to emotional intelligence and explaining to them what it is. In order to succeed in
explaining the meaning of this concept, I will have to use examples drawn from real life
experiences. Secondly, I plan to successfully teach my audience about the features of an
emotionally-intelligent person. Here, I will take time to explanation my audience about the
emotional intelligence-related attributes like self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and self-
awareness. I will use my teaching skills to explain to the audience the significant contributions of
each of these attributes and explain to them how useful they are to the as workers. Thirdly, I will
have to teach the audience about the roles of emotional intelligence in the workplace. I plan to
achieve this goal by dedicating my time to teach the audience about how emotional can enable
them to identify their uniqueness, establish healthy interpersonal relations, exercise self-control,
and remain conscious to be focused and hardworking employees who are committed to achieving
their individualized and collective organization goals.
