OVERVIEW
Emotional intelligence is defined as a set of competencies demonstrating the ability one has to recognize their own behaviors, moods, and impulses, as well as those of others, and to manage them best according to the situation.
This course will give you the tools you need to be emotionally intelligent in your workplace. An employee with high emotional intelligence can manage their own impulses, communicate with others effectively, manage change well, solve problems, and use humor to build rapport in tense situations. These employees also have empathy, remain optimistic even in the face of adversity, and are gifted at educating and persuading in a sales situation and resolving customer complaints in a customer service role. The emotional-super neural pathway is intricate yet predictable. Understanding is the key to developing and growing Emotional Intelligence (EQ). Emotional intelligence is defined as "The ability to recognize your own emotions, the capacity to recognize another person's emotions - and the skill of being able to respond appropriately."
