Crescendo Inc. Good to Knows!

April 2013

Greetings!

It is a very late spring in Minneapolis this year. If the snow has not melted by St. Patrick's Day, even the die hard Minnesotans agree that it is time for a change of season. But regardless of

Anxiously awaiting spring...

the season, I continue to embrace opportunities for new learning.

This past March, I had the opportunity to share the new EQ-i2.0 LEADERSHIP Report with

LEADERSHIP Report

practitioners in the Crescendo Inc. EI (Emotional Intelligence) Community of Practice. MHS, publisher of the EQ-i2.0, released this new report in January.

This report examines EQ-i2.0 results through four key dimensions of leadership: authenticity, coaching, insight, and innovation. Certified EI Practitioners may now compare their client results against those of top leaders, thereby creating a coaching benchmark for exceptional EI performance.

The LEADERSHIP Report identifies potential leadership derailers, provides insights on the leadership and organizational implications of client results, as well as, strategies for development designed to help leaders achieve their true potential. It is a great report. To learn more, please listen to the March Crescendo Connect Conversation.

Our next conversation on May 6th will explore the topic, Emotional Intelligence and Creativity. If you are interested in receiving an invitation, please subscribe to our mailing list.

I hopeyou enjoy exploring this edition of Crescendo Inc. Good to Knows!

Good Learning & Development!

On April 25, I have the privilege of presenting a day long professional development workshop at the Minnesota Career Development Association (MCDA) Spring Conference. I'm excited about this because it gives me an opportunity to connec

t two of my most favorite topics - Emotional Intelligence and Career Development.

Emotional Intelligence: The Career Advantage will explore the concept of emotional intelligence; it's relevance to career development and potential strategies for improvement. At the end of this program, participants will be able to...

Describe emotional intelligence and explain why it is relevant.
Connect emotional intelligence to their work.
Identify personal strengths and growth opportunities.
Create an EI Action Learning plan.
Connect with peers for accountability, support and sustained learning.

I am really excited to be presenting at this conference and hope you can join me. They have a great line up of Break Out Sessions and Roundtable Discussions.

Recent Testimonials...

"Lisa was outstanding in facilitating the EQ-i/EQ360 training! The class was fast-paced, practical, engaging and highly interactive. She does an excellent job with visual design as well as helpful, real-life activities to incorporate the content - both really helped us retain and integrate the information.

Emotional Intelligence is such an essential leadership capability, absolutely relevant and necessary for the collaborative reality that exists in organizations today. EQ - relational, social and emotional effectiveness - can be developed and will help leaders be more engaging, inspirational and... followed! I highly recommend attending Lisa's certification program if you want to become an EQ practitioner helping leaders and managers have greater impact and success!"

Good Reading!

Go Put Your Strengths to Work: 6 Powerful Steps to Achieve Outstanding Performance by Marcus Buckingham.

I have always had an interest in career development. When the 'strengths' movement and positive psychology research started to emerge, I was in my element. I dusted this book off a few weeks ago to help me prepare for the MCDA conference in April. It is really a great resource for those of us who do coaching (or for those of us who are considering launching an 'encore career')!

Research data show that most people do not come close to making full use of their assets at work. Through a six-step, six-week experience, Go Put Your Strengths to Work shows you how to seize control of your assets and rewrite your job description. Read More...

I hope you find Crescendo Inc. Good to Knows, good to know! There will more to come shortly. Until then... enjoy!

P.S. If you have any Good to Knows that you would like to share, I hope you send them my way. I'm always curious.

Warmly,
