João Ascenso delivered a course in Leadership with Emotional Intelligence to SIEMENS PORTUGAL, in which I was a trainee and my present function in SIEMENS PORTUGAL is Project manager belonging to GPO global team.
Joao Ascenso’s performance when delivering this Course was brilliant, he was very patient with everyone respecting each individual differences and, at the same time, being capable to make people at ease and opened towards the experiment.
The course was a mix of theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part was interesting as it gave us a bit of background but it was mostly the practical part which was enlightening as we were forced to re-think about emotions, to look at them and being able to work on them to make advantage and real use of what they call Emotional Intelligence. I strongly believe that after the training we were more conscious as human beings and more capable as managers to focus on our team and being able to work with the emotional intelligence in a way that would be useful to improve the team well-being and productivity”.
