Emotional Intelligence expert Marcia Reynolds to speak at LCC
EUGENE, OR - Renowned author, speaker and business coach Marcia Reynolds will speak at the Center for Meeting and Learning (CML) at Lane Community College on Wednesday, March 14, from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Co-sponsored by the CML and the City of Eugene, the seminar, titled "Outsmart your Brain...Resolve Conflicts, Strengthen Bonds and Increase your Confidence with Emotional Intelligence," will focus on how emotions affect thoughts and actions.
Developed in the 1920s and re-popularized in the mid 1990s, the concept of emotional intelligence is defined as the innate potential to feel, use, communicate, recognize, remember, learn from, manage and understand emotions. Learning more about how your brain functions in order to control it is the main goal of EQ training. "To feel more energy, stimulate creativity, increase persuasive powers and live healthier, more joyful lives, you have to wage war against your brain," says Reynolds. "Once you know how your brain works, you can harness the processes and consciously choose how you want to feel and act."
In a one-time collaboration, the internationally known improv group On Your Feet will animate Reynolds' examples and the concepts of emotional intelligence. To learn more about On Your Feet visit www.oyf.com
Reynolds, president of Covisioning, has spent 25 years working with a diverse set of organizations including hi-tech firms, health care corporations, federal agencies and banks in the areas of leadership development, emotional intelligence, and team building. She is past president of the International Coach Federation. Excerpts from her books and interviews have appeared in Fortune Magazine, Health Magazine, Christian Science Monitor and the New York Times. For details, visit www.covisioning.com
Tickets include one copy of "Outsmart your Brain" and are $75 each for groups of one to five, $65 for groups of six to 49, and $50 for groups of 50 or more. Any single person employed by a DHRC (Diversity and Human Rights Consortium) agency, and full-time students, receives the $50 ticket rate.
