Presentation

Have you ever learned that you have a blind spot or significant weakness in a certain key area? It doesn’t feel good to learn you have been “missing the mark” relationally, emotionally or professionally for years, but just didn’t know it. The antidote to having a defect that goes undetected, through much or all your working life, is careful attention to seeking feedback about your blind spots and weaknesses.

George is a talented physician who has always wanted to become medical director. When he is turned down, yet again, his family shares in his disappointment and anger. Isn’t he the best doctor in the hospital? While most of his colleagues would agree, this is not the reason he is overlooked. The truth is he lacks core emotional intelligence competencies needed for the role of medical director. If his family knew the real reason why he did not get the job, they would immediately understand as they experience him the same way. Unless George gets the feedback he needs about his blind spots and weaknesses, he has no chance of ever moving into the position he feels “born for,” one in which he believes he could do much good.

In this presentation, we will explore stories of professionals, just like you, who have made the decision to learn new skills and become more honest with their untapped abilities, emotional intelligence competency levels, and their limits. We will look at what works and what doesn’t. It doesn’t take a lot of time or resources to transform your emotional, professional and interpersonal skills, but it does take courage and attention. Come and learn how!
