OCC Webinar Series - Emotional Intelligence and How it Applies to Coach Leadership
2019-11-20 19:00 - 20:00 | Online Webinar, Your Favourite Computer Location
Recent management research on leadership has confirmed that a high degree of emotional
intelligence is a common trait of effective leaders who achieve extraordinary results. The five
competencies of emotional intelligence, as defined in Daniel Goleman’s model, will be
discussed as applied to coaching leadership. From management research, this has proven to
be ”a group of five skills that enable the best leaders to maximize their own and their followers’
performance.”
This webinar will discuss the importance and value of emotional intelligence to coaching
leadership and will explore how you would enhance your coaching environment with its
presence. It will include strategies for applying your own personal emotional intelligence to
your coaching practice. For example, how vision statements and coaching philosophies can
become an integral part of emotionally intelligent coaching leadership.
Leith Drury, PhD, is a sport psychology consultant for the CIS teams at Ryerson University and a learning facilitator with the Canadian Sport Institute in Ontario. Leith has worked with national and international calibre athletes from a multitude of sports.
