HCI Event a Hit

HCI’s Business Breakfast, the latest in a series of educational networking events aimed at reinforcing the notion of Emotional Intelligence as a strategic imperative, took place in Vancouver on October 26th. Kirk Hill, Executive Director of SFU’s Career Management Centre and coordinator of the event, was pleased to declare it the most well-attended HCI Breakfast to date, with over 165 HR Managers, Organizational Development Officers and CEO’s in attendance.

The keynote address, Building a Successful Workforce: What’s Emotional Intelligence Got to Do With It, was presented by MHS’ Senior EI Advisor, Diana Durek. Her knowledge of the Emotional Intelligence framework and its applications in human performance provoked fervent discussion from all who participated. Durek invited the attendees to consider the role EI assessment could play in re-shaping their unique work environment, demonstrating the impact of the assessment process through a number of business cases. “Organizations using the EQ-i^® have experienced less turn-over, and better performance,” Durek concluded.

“Diana wooed the audience and had them in an uproar,” says Rosana Sablic, who was in attendance. “People were moved to action—they wanted to know the next steps.”

Your next opportunity to participate in HCI’s ongoing EI learning track will be a webcast presentation by Howard Book. The webcast will take place on Monday, December 3rd from 12:00 to 1:30PM EST, and will focus on the role of Emotional Intelligence in leadership.
