Emotional Intelligence

Skillful awareness and regulation

The connection between strong emotional intelligence and high-level business success has been well-established since the 1970s.

Many experts argue that high E.I. contributes more to positive business outcomes than high cognitive intelligence. 

Effective leaders are aware of what is happening with their emotions and those of others and use that insight to build management strategies, navigate and mediate in working relationships, and keep their people engaged and on course as they work toward our business objectives. 


By the end of this course, you will understand how to:

  • Deepen your understanding of the value of Emotional Intelligence and learn how to harness the power of awareness to make better decisions and prepare more tailored communications that ultimately enhance connections and influence.
  • Better understand yourself, identify your emotional strengths and weaknesses, and develop self-awareness and self-regulation as you build empathy which will make you a better leader of yourself and others. 
  • Anticipate and de-escalate emotions - yours and theirs - and create S.A.F.E.T.Y. in the work environment to build a foundation for solid working relationships and higher-performing teams.
