Emotional Intelligence and Human Relations Skills
This is an intensive and highly experiential one-week course, with the major amount of time spent in small groups of eight to 12 people with two experienced facilitators in each group. As group life unfolds, participants are offered feedback on the impact they have on others in the group. Participants will learn about their intrapersonal EQ (emotional quotient), their interpersonal EQ, their intra-group EQ, stress management EQ, adaptability EQ and their general mood EQ. The content of the course will focus on four areas of emotional intelligence: self awareness, self management, social awareness and social skills. As part of this workshop, participants will be asked to complete a comprehensive survey on emotional intelligence. They will also be asked to identify up to 20 people who know them well and who will complete the same survey on them. What results is a 30-page printout of one's EQ.  Register today!

Discover Your Call—Dependable Strengthsâ for Congregations
Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center, Carefree, Ariz.
Are people in your congregation asking the big questions—questions like "How do I know what I was created to be?" "Where are the places that I can make a difference in the world?" Where can I experience a sense of belonging?" Discover Your Call workshops use the Dependable Strengthsâ process to invite people to reflect on positive experiences from their lives, to tell their stories and to discern together what God is calling them to be. Unlike most gifts-identification processes, Discover Your Call helps people see how God calls them to ministry in their homes, communities and workplaces, as well as in their congregations. In this Train-the-Trainer course, you will learn how to lead Discover Your Call workshops in your own congregation.  Register today!
