Nurture, lead or analyse?

Last week, as part of the ongoing d'Overbroeck's Speaker Series, we were visited by Simon Williams, Managing Director of Tangent Team Development (photo above).

Simon's topic was emotional intelligence (or 'EI') – a quality increasingly recognised and cherished as a counterbalance to raw IQ.

Leading a variety of workshops, Simon introduced sixth form Business Studies students to new ways of thinking about communicating and interacting with others. As part of the exercise, students discovered whether they were instinctive nurturers, leaders or analysers – and what impact this had on their working style.
