Ideally suited to:

Any course on EI as an engaging, enjoyable and non-threatening introduction to the concept of Emotional Intelligence and the value it brings to individuals and to the workplace.

Good emotional intelligence skills in managers and staff help to create a positive work environment in which productivity, staff wellbeing and morale can prosper, so much so, that many employers place greater emphasis on EI than on IQ.

In this activity, participants, working in small teams, are shown a set of 30 cards. Each card poses a question that relates, in some way, to emotional intelligence. It could ask participants to consider how they might regulate their own emotions in a given situation, or what strong personal values they hold, that help structure their actions and decisions, or whether or not they agree with a given statement.

There are three card types: Response, Task and Yes/No cards (and there are ten of each card type - making 30 in total).

For each card, participants record their response (on Handouts A&B) - first in terms of their own personal response and then as a consensus team response. The individual response allows for self-analysis and through trying to reach a team consensus, the card is aired, shared and discussed. People learn from hearing viewpoints from others and having to give reasons to support their own. The activity is not in any way a test. Each member of the team has their own forms, so any notes participants make about themselves are strictly for their eyes only.

Together, the cards show how EI is about self-awareness, self-restraint, empathy, self-esteem and good social skills - and about regulating emotions rather than allowing them to take centre stage.

After the debrief, there is a handout for individuals to take away, which can be used as an aide-memoire to help them put what they have learned into practice. By participating in this activity, participants will find out about the topic in an interactive way, explore their own levels of EI, build a list of the skills and attributes associated with good EI, find ways to improve levels of EI, and help make their performance at work (and in life) more rewarding.

Introduce the activity in plenary session (using the optional introductory PowerPoint if you wish). When using virtually, arrange the group into teams of 3-6 and install in breakout rooms. In the classroom, teams simply sit at different tables.
Issue the set of 30 cards together with Handouts A & B (for participants to note their responses).
Teams work through the cards one at a time. If time is limited, you may choose to omit certain cards - or give a time-guide of, for example, two minutes per card.
Observe teams in action and collect any interesting interactions for the debrief.
Halt proceedings after the hour and allow teams a few moments to reflect on the session.
Lead a debrief in plenary to bring out the learning points. The Trainer’s Notes includes a commentary for every card.
Finally, issue Handout C that summarises the topic and gives tips for the future.

We've bought a few Northgate training activities: 'Houston, we have a problem', 'Escape Room 2 Breakout!', 'RollaBall!', 'The Sandwich Shop', 'Listening Skills' and 'Emotional Intelligence'. We love them, as our participants find them very engaging, bringing together their consolidation of learning in a fun and practical way.

Wow! I found 'Emotional Intelligence' to be absolutely inspiring. Each group had a very revealing and powerful discussion which made a significant positive impact on everyone attending. Thank you and well done! I plan to use it wherever I can in future courses.

We have used Northgate's 'Emotional Intelligence' training activity with a group of admin staff and with a group of police officers and staff at inspector level and equivalent. It has proved effective in introducing the concepts of Emotional Intelligence in both cases, and provoked some interesting and thought-provoking discussion. Feedback from the participants was that they enjoyed the game. We will continue to use the game regularly.

We use a number of Northgate Training activities including 'Escape from Mars!', 'Emotional Intelligence' & 'Capture the Flag!'. We are really enjoying using them in our training courses and so are all the learners!

I have used the 'Emotional Intelligence' activity in a face-to-face setting. Easy to use and facilitate with great feedback - my clients love Northgate activities!
