Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Have you ever reacted emotionally and later wished you had handled the situation differently? Or found it difficult to understand someone else's point of view during a disagreement?
Emotional Intelligence in Real Life is a practical course designed to help you understand your emotions, respond more thoughtfully, and communicate more constructively in everyday situations.
You will learn how to recognise your emotions, identify your triggers, and understand how your interpretations influence your reactions. Instead of reacting automatically, you will practise creating a pause, managing difficult feelings without suppressing them, and choosing how to respond.
Through practical frameworks, realistic scenarios, and guided exercises, you will also learn to see situations from different perspectives, listen without rushing to give advice, and express your feelings, needs, and requests more clearly.
Whether you face workplace pressure, family disagreements, relationship misunderstandings, or challenging interactions with others, this course offers practical tools you can begin applying in daily life.
You will explore the PAUSE process, a Trigger Map, perspective-taking techniques, active listening, and a simple structure for communicating concerns constructively.
The course also includes reflection activities and a practice plan to help you put your learning into action.
You do not need prior knowledge of emotional intelligence. Just bring an open mind and a willingness to practise.
Take the first step towards understanding yourself better, responding more intentionally, and building more constructive connections with others.
