Explore the four core emotional intelligence competencies: self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, and relationship management, with practical strategies to boost communication, empathy, motivation, and self-esteem.
Discover what emotional intelligence is and why it matters in day-to-day work. Apply practical tools to improve communication, decision making, relationships, and performance under pressure.
Develop self-awareness within emotional intelligence by understanding how emotions arise and how emotional hijacks unfold, then apply pausing and naming to align your responses with your values.
Master self-management within emotional intelligence by pausing between trigger and response, reframing thoughts, and using distraction and optimism to stay calm, constructive, and productive.
Discover how self-motivation drives productive action by mastering internal self-talk, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and practical strategies like small starts and mind mapping.
Develop empathy by reading emotional cues, mimic, rephrase, reflect, and respond calmly to reduce defensiveness and improve communication in meetings.
Explore social awareness as part of emotional intelligence by learning to read the room, listen to understand, persuade with respect, and collaborate to nurture relationships and trust.
Master relationship management by applying emotional intelligence in real-time: read needs behind behavior, manage your emotional state, and tailor coaching, boundaries, or influence to strengthen trust and outcomes.

Working with Emotional Intelligence is a practical, workplace-focused course designed to help you perform better under pressure, communicate with confidence, and build stronger relationships — even in challenging situations.
In today’s working environment, technical skills and IQ alone are not enough. What often separates strong performers from average ones is how they handle emotions: staying calm under stress, responding intentionally rather than reacting, and reading people and situations accurately. This course gives you the tools to do exactly that.
You will learn how emotional hijacking occurs and how to stop it before it harms decision-making, teamwork, or client relationships. You will build self-awareness by recognising triggers, thinking patterns, and physical warning signals. You will practice practical self-management techniques such as reframing, distraction methods, optimism habits, and worry control to stay focused and productive.
From there, you will strengthen empathy, social awareness, and relationship management skills. You will learn how to listen effectively, reflect on content and feelings, ask clarifying questions, and avoid common negative listening habits. You will also explore how informal networks and human needs shape behaviour in teams — and how you can use this insight to influence outcomes positively.
This is a practical course you can apply immediately — in meetings, with colleagues, and with clients.
