Emotional Intelligence

Apply strategies to achieve optimal stress (emotional) levels in personal and work situations.

The term “Emotional Intelligence” became very popular after Daniel Goleman’s 1995 book “Emotional Intelligence – Why it can matter more than IQ.”

Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn’t just a matter of mastering facts; it’s a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you. (Daniel Goleman)

Course Objectives:

Emotional Intelligence is our mind’s ability to perceive, manage, and express emotions, take responsibility, be a team player and self-actualise effectively in real life. Jack Mayer and Peter Salovey (1990) defined Emotional Intelligence (or E.I.) as the ability to regulate feelings and use them to guide our actions.

E.I. helps us sustain our relationships both personally and professionally.

E.I. can empower the mind and make us happy and content.
