Understanding others
The power of social awereness
More detailed information
Emotional intelligence isn’t just about knowing yourself—it’s also about recognizing and understanding the emotions of those around you. Social awareness is the ability to perceive what others are feeling, recognize group dynamics, and become conscious of the unspoken emotional undercurrents in different environments.
In this workshop, we’ll focus on empathy and active listening, two deeply connected skills that allow you to truly notice and understand others beyond words. You’ll also gain insight into an important aspect of organizational awareness, as we’ll explore toxic behaviors and dysfunctional dynamics—not yet how to manage them, but how to identify and understand the patterns at play. By sharpening your social awareness, you’ll be better equipped to navigate relationships, teams, and organizations with greater clarity and insight.
What We’ll Explore in This Workshop:
Learn to truly listen and notice what’s being communicated beyond words
Recognize emotions in others and become aware of their impact on interactions
Identify toxic behaviors and dysfunctional patterns—understanding how they function and affect relationships
Gain insights into biosystemic dysfunctions—how imbalances between decision-making power and responsibility create stress in organizations
Takeaways:
By the end of this workshop, you will:
Become more attuned to the emotions and nonverbal cues of others
Recognize active listening as a key tool for deeper understanding
Develop awareness of toxic behaviors and their influence on interactions
Understand how power-responsibility imbalances contribute to dysfunction and stress in organizations
