This course teaches you to be aware of, and to manage, emotions and relationships. It will teach you how to connect with peers and subordinates and how to manage your own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. This can play a part in determining how successful you are in both the business environment and your personal life.

We have all worked with and listened to brilliant people. When we look at truly extraordinary people who inspire those around them and make a difference, it becomes clear that they do this by connecting with people at a personal and emotional level. What differentiates them from others is not their IQ (intellectual intelligence), but rather their EQ (emotional intelligence). This course will help you to develop your emotional intelligence.
