Emotional Intelligence for the IP sector

The Course

Delivered by a patent attorney of 20+ yrs experience (including as an equity partner, head of department, and board member) the course is unique in the marketplace by being tailored for IP professionals based on direct experience of working in IP. Using the EQ-i 2.0® assessment, a scientifically validated assessment tool that measures emotional intelligence (EI), you will learn more about EI (the ability to recognise, understand, and manage emotions in yourself and others), how it impacts your behaviour, and how you can use it to improve your overall work performance. The course includes a standard EQ-i 2.0® assessment and report. Also available as add-ons to the standard report, are options to understand your EI scores in a leadership context and a 360. These can be added on the booking page for an additional £50 (Leadership report), £200 (360 report) or £250 (Leadership 360 report). The Programme Through two group workshops and a one-to-one assessment debrief session, you will learn more about EI; what it is, the 5 core areas and 15 subscales, how they impact performance and engagement at work, and how to make the most of and improve your emotional intelligence. You will come away from the programme with a better understanding of both your own EI and the EI of others. You'll also have actionable insights into how you can use EI to unlock improvements in performance, motivation and confidence. The programme is in 3 parts: Group session 1 (90-minutes) Using your own EQ-I 2.0® assessment report, you will learn about EI and how the assessment is a snapshot in time of how frequently you are using the elements of EI. EI is not made up of fixed traits, and can instead can be learned, practiced and improved. You will learn about the different aspects of EI and how to identify the aspects of your EI that would benefit from improvement (not necessarily those that you are using least) . You will leave the session with a clear understanding of how EI impacts your performance at work. One-to-one 60-minute EQ-I 2.0® debrief [Booked separately by email] An opportunity to explore your EQ-I 2.0® report in more detail. Group session 2 (90-minutes) You will learn how your own EI and the EI of others can interact and impact on all areas of your IP practice. You will come away understanding more about how to leverage EI to improve your IP practice, including team-working, delegation, wellbeing, client retention, business development, and profitability.
