Overview

Emotional intelligence (also known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the understanding of how to use and manage your own emotions in positive ways to communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges, defuse conflict and relieve stress. By understanding your EQ and learning about the signs in others, you can positively transform
how you think, feel, engage with, influence and inspire others. Implementing the EQ knowledge we cover in the course will help you become more effective at work, by getting the best from you and other people. You’ll be able to increase
your team’s performance, improve decision making and build effective workplace relationships. This will help you reduce sources of stress and conflict at work.

What will I cover?

The course will take you through three key areas of EQ – discovering what they are and how to use them effectively in person or working remotely:
• Self-awareness – harness your EQ to improve your personal communications skills and sense of wellbeing
• Social awareness – understand why people tend to behave the way they do and how to get the best from them
• Self-management – decide how to respond before you act – controlling and redirecting undesirable behaviours.

What will I learn?

• Understanding your own emotions, moods and drivers and their effect on others.
• Identify key triggers and how to manage them
• Understand different personality traits and how these affect behaviour
• Building on personality traits to communicate more effectively with everyone around you and reduce potential conflict,       whether verbally or via email
• How to relate to and persuade others more easily.
