Fundamentals of Emotional Intelligence 

Some claim that emotional intelligence (EI) is a key factor in both personal and professional success and that it is actually more important than IQ.

In terms of working with others, there can be no doubt that the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships empathetically are fundamental to our effectiveness at work and in life more broadly.

Fortunately, it is possible to develop the skills associated with emotional intelligence and this session aims to provide a grounding in this topic and some practical tools and strategies for developing it. 

Specifically, this session will cover:

  • Defining and conceptualising Emotional Intelligence

  • Rationale for developing EI - why work on it?

  • Exploration of the concept and how it might be of value

  • Model of emotional intelligence and its application

​Partnering with DFP was an incredibly positive experience. From the outset, they were proactive, professional and took the time to understand my background and career aspirations as a leader within the Mental Health sector. What truly impressed me was their insight into the healthcare sector and their strong connections with reputable employers, particularly within the Federal Government space. DFP not only helped me secure a role with long term potential but also provided a level of service that made the entire process stress free and rewarding. I highly recommend them to any clinician seeking meaningful and impactful work.

Maggie, Candidate

​DFP has been a reliable and professional partner in supporting our workforce needs. As a Federal Government agency delivering critical mental health services, it is essential that we have access to highly qualified, adaptable and dependable staff. DFP has consistently delivered on this requirement, providing us with highly suitable labour hire candidates who are not only clinically skilled but also aligned with the values required for our clients. They are responsive, reliable and we look forward to continuing our partnership.

​Mel is an absolute pleasure to work with and provided us with an array of highly skilled Mental Health Clinicians and personable candidates. I cannot recommend Mel and DFP more highly.

Gail, Client

From the very first contact, Mel at DFP Health made me feel at ease. She took the time to understand not only my professional skills but also my passion for Indigenous mental health. Mel supported me every step of the way. Her genuine care, encouragement and personal touches made what could have been a daunting process feel supportive and empowering. Thanks to DFP, I have found a role that is a perfect match for my values and skills.

​From the very beginning, my DFP Consultant Mel was extremely helpful and always available to answer any question I had throughout the recruitment process. I received regular updates, often without even needing to ask, and felt genuinely cared for as an individual.

DFP provided a professional and supportive service and I would recommend them to anyone.
