Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a body of knowledge that had been emerging for some years at the hands of a number of researchers but came to prominence in the mid-1990s through Daniel Goleman’s book ‘Emotional Intelligence’. Since the idea hit mainstream, it has been widely embraced in business organisations because of its crucial importance in effective people management, leadership and influence.
The beauty of this course is that participants assess their current emotional skills and capabilities, not through a test but through examining their own emotional reactions to a series of videos that are simulated to include them.
Through this virtual interaction, you will determine your strengths, and identify areas for improvement. You will examine how emotions affect your behaviour; how those behaviours impact relationships with others and what to do to help develop your skills and responses in your identified areas for improvement.
You will emerge from this workshop better able to manage yourself and your relationships.
