Friday, June 16⋅9:45am – 12:00pm, Michael Brenner – Amp Up Your Career Transition with Emotional Intelligence, The Princeton Public Library. 65 Witherspoon Street, Princeton NJ 08542
Emotional intelligence (EQ) refers to the ability to perceive our emotions (and those of others) and manage them effectively. EQ pioneer Dr. Daniel Goleman—and many other social scientists—consider EQ to be more important than technical competence for success in both personal and professional contexts.
It’s especially important for those of us in transition, since most people vying for the same job are about as smart (from an IQ perspective) as we are. What makes the difference are our inter- and intrapersonal skills, and how well we navigate through the inevitable ups and downs of the process. That’s what EQ is all about!
Join Dr. Michael Brenner, founder and CEO of Right Chord Leadership, for this thought-provoking and motivational session. Leveraging decades of coaching experience, Michael will demonstrate how to position yourself for success in a crowded marketplace by amplifying 4 dimensions of EQ: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.
By attending this session, you will learn:
- The four dimensions of emotional intelligence and the important role they play in career transitions
- How to become more aware of your emotions during your job search
- How to regulate negative emotions for better outcomes
- How to increase the capacity to empathize with recruiters and interviewers
- How to leverage relationship management skills to network more effectively

The Ramsey Job Search Work Team meets every Monday morning. Networking and meeting starts at 9:00 to 10:30. Members are expected to hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of “landings” by those conducting an active and vigorous job search.
Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.
Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared “elevator pitch” to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there’s a problem to solve or a need to fill.
Please contact Beth Berkenfeld at bberk2@optonline.net or 201-797-4342 if interested in joining the group.
