About the Event:
This session goes over the basics of emotional intelligence, how it is defined, how it is measured, and how it relates to success or failure in the AEC Industry, especially with more collaborative project delivery methods. Participants will come to understand how EI relates to their own performance, success, and failure. An Emotional Intelligence (EI) Assessment as well as a physical survey will be used to inform an individualized “EI Roadmap” and “Activity Guide” to forge a pathway to understanding how each of us contributes to team and project success.
