Understand Yourself and Connect with Others
A high level of Emotional Intelligence (EI) is essential for effective communication, resilient leadership, and positive working relationships. This course introduces the foundational elements of Emotional Intelligence, using Daniel Goleman’s 4-domain model: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to recognise your emotional patterns, respond more effectively under pressure, build stronger connections with others, and navigate workplace dynamics with empathy and confidence. By developing your emotional intelligence (EI), you can enhance collaboration, reduce conflict, and contribute to a healthier, more emotionally intelligent organisational culture.
Through practical hints and tips, this course offers an introductory guide to understanding and applying Emotional Intelligence (EI) in everyday interactions. You'll explore the key concepts of emotional intelligence and learn how to integrate EI principles into your daily interactions at work and home.
While this course is especially valuable in people-focused roles, the skills explored here are transferable across all sectors and career stages. Whether you're leading a team, managing change, or simply seeking to enhance your emotional resilience, this course will equip you with essential tools to succeed.
