Emotionally Intelligent Leadership is a framework that combines the concepts of emotional intelligence and leadership into one model—Emotionally Intelligent Leadership (EIL). This workshop provides students a practical guide for developing leadership skills based upon emotional intelligence.   Finding Your Flow: Saturday June 22nd 10:00am – 4:00pm – Atrium Room, Stamp Student Union  From homework assignments to involvement opportunities, the college experience is filled with demands on students’ time and attention. These increases in competition, pressure, and stress mixed with other distractions result in decreased effective and focus. Finding Your Flow is a program that gives each participant increased awareness, understanding, tools, and strategies to shut out the distractions, increase focus, and maximize performance. Create Your Path: Saturday, July 13th 10:00am – 4:00pm – Atrium Room, Stamp Student Union In this unique, interactive, and engaging workshop innovation principles will be applied to develop ideas that can make an impact in each person's individual life. Students will design their own peak experience in college and beyond. Students will be guided step-by-step through an innovation system to develop better ideas for future action and how to elevate life and leadership to the next level based on each person's unique strengths, passions, and values.  LeaderShape Catalyst: Saturday, July 27th 10:00am – 4:00pm – Atrium Room, Stamp Student Union Catalyst is designed for anyone who is interested in starting something extraordinary. This is a program of personal integrity and possibility. Integrity because participants will be challenged to examine themselves and consider how and where their true values and interests align with their actions. Possibility because participants will be encouraged to stretch the limits of their relationships and boundaries to produce more far-reaching results. Probing and questioning will be a big part of this day... no pat answers, no ten-step processes, but lots of nudging and meaningful conversations. And to that end, we will invite participants to consider implementing the life-long practice of asking tough questions that give impetus to personal growth and leadership. All participants will leave the day with the final question, "What's holding me back, and where will I take my first action step?"
