Leveraging Your Emotional Intelligence in the Modern Workplace

Tapping into emotional intelligence results in a better bottom line for both businesses and employees. Research clearly shows this, yet many courses on emotional intelligence still focus on outdated concepts of managing emotions vs. leveraging them.

In this dynamic course, you’ll not only learn the fundamentals of identifying emotions, but you’ll also discover how you can apply those concepts in today’s post-pandemic workplace. Navigating online meetings, social media, the age of the influencer and an ever-expanding list of work-life balance challenges with remote vs. in-office work requires a high level of emotional intelligence. This course gives you concrete tools to heighten you emotional intelligence and use it effectively, whether in your career, personal life or both.
