Emotional Intelligence in the Dolomites

September 8 - 16, 2019

Attention all SU Students, Alumni and Guests!
Join us in the Italian Dolomites for 9 days and 8 nights and as we explore the regions’ magnificent beauty while honing our emotional intelligence skills. This special course offers a unique program comprised of experiential exercises that take leadership development beyond the bounds of the usual classroom setting.

The course is designed to elevate the level of emotional competence among its participants and increase their effectiveness in all relationships. The course helps individuals know themselves and their values better, achieve greater clarity of vision, and act in ways that are congruent with their intentions and goals. The impact of the experience and leadership skills gained will remain with you long after you leave the alpine meadows!
