Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is a skill. And like any other skill, you can get better at it with training and practice.

Successful people have highly developed emotional intelligence. They have self-awareness – they know their strengths, weaknesses, drives, values and impact on others. They have self-management – they control or redirect disruptive impulses and moods. They have social awareness – they understand other people’s emotional make-up. And they have relationship management – they build rapport with others to move them in desired directions.

This course explores ideas and techniques for increasing your emotional intelligence. These practical techniques are core to achieving personal awareness, connecting with others, managing stress and exhibiting resilience and optimism both at work and home.
