CUTTING EDGE
ONLINE ELEARNING FROM DR MARIO DENTON

In
this interview Emma
Poree talked to Dr Mario Denton regarding his experience and wisdom and passion
for Emotional Intelligence as he has completed 450 BARON EQ-i EQ assessments so
far.
Emma:
Congratulations on the achievement so far
Mario but is EQ really
the missing link in delivering high performance?
Mario: EQ is definitely not a fad but you have to be careful that you ask the
right person to do this training for you. While emotional intelligence isn’t the sole predictor
of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key
indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is also not a static factor —
to the contrary; one’s emotional intelligence can change over time and can be
developed in targeted areas
It can lead to
dramatic increase in the person’s performance, interaction with others, and
leadership potential. The development potentials the EQ-i identifies, along
with the targeted strategies it provides, make it a highly effective employee
development tool.
Emma: Let me go back and give me your
understanding of EQ first.
Mario:
Let me start with the
following statement: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella quoted Mahatma Gandhi
to tell students, "Live everyday as if it is your last day but learn as if
you are going to live forever." He also said that, "In the long
run, EQ (emotional quotient) trumps IQ (intelligence quotient). Without being a
source of energy for others, very little can be accomplished."
Emotional intelligence is therefore
defined as “a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we
perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope
with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful
way.”
Emma: So, what do you cover in your eLearning training program called
optimising your emotional intelligence. https://mariodenton.teachable.com/p/personal-resilience
Mario: The eLearning is designed to be an interactive session which
includes reflection, individual work and various assignments. The following
course and learning objectives are key highlights for participants of the
program:
• Create understanding of emotional
intelligence.
• Increase participants’
understanding of mapping transformation leadership to emotional intelligence.
• Enable participants to identify
specific areas in their own assessment results and build an action plan to work
on areas to develop further and leverage strengths.
• Identify and understand how
aspects of emotional intelligence can lead to derailing behaviours.
Emma: Do you back up your training
with personal coaching Dr Mario?
Mario. Yes, I definitely do. In the
personal coaching session, we also talk a lot about the following:
- Emotional intelligence, leader effectiveness and developing
high achievers
- Managing conflict with emotional intelligence
- Building high-performance teams with emotional intelligence and
the essential link to creativity and innovation
- Coaching secrets for developing emotional intelligence
- Stress and its impact on emotional intelligence and derailment of
leaders.
Emma: Give me some final comments
Mario: The EQ training is
a comprehensive program that equips participants with tools to facilitate an
interactive application, all in a digital format. The training program started
during my days lecturing the elective on EQ at the USB as I have been the first
one introducing this subject on the MBA curriculum based on 20+ years of
experience in this area. Our training includes lots of PowerPoint Presentations
and various further support material.
Emma:
Good luck with your further role out and keep on making the difference Dr Mario
Denton.
Mario:

you Emma
