New Focus on Safety: Developing Your Emotional Intelligence & Tips for Delivering Your Safety Message

The SMIA Safety Committee and Signal Safety Team have created a library of topics for Safety Meetings, or Toolbox Talks called Focus on Safety

Developing Your Emotional Intelligence

Recognizing and managing emotions, both our own and those of others, is essential for effective leadership and communication. Developing emotional intelligence, or EQ can significantly enhance our ability to lead, resolve conflicts, and build strong relationships in both personal and professional settings. By becoming more attuned to our emotions and the emotions of others, we can navigate challenging situations and communicate more effectively.
