Transformative Volunteer Management:

Leveraging Emotional Intelligence


Emotional intelligence (EI) is increasingly recognized as a critical component of effective leadership in volunteer management. Unlike traditional management skills that focus primarily on logistics and coordination, EI emphasizes the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others. This presentation will delve into the various aspects of emotional intelligence and how it can enhance your ability to lead and motivate volunteers, leading to more cohesive, motivated, and high-performing volunteer teams. Attending will give you practical strategies and insights to apply emotional intelligence in your volunteer management role.

Participants will explore the core elements of EI, including self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, and understand how these elements contribute to successful volunteer leadership. By integrating EI into their leadership practices, volunteer managers can foster a more supportive and collaborative environment, ultimately driving better outcomes for their volunteer programs and communities.
