Understanding Emotional Intelligence | 3.5 contact hours | Virtual

| 01:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Cost/fee: $0
Developing emotional intelligence is a life-long journey. It is important to develop because it separates those who know themselves well and take personal responsibility for their actions from those who lack self-awareness and repeat the same mistakes. In the workplace, it is important to develop because it separates those who build rapport, have influence, and collaborate effectively with others from those who are demanding, lack empathy, and are therefore difficult to work with. This interactive course will provide a foundation for understanding the concepts of emotional intelligence, emotional triggers, and how our thoughts and behaviors can influence how we manage our emotions.
