ABOUT THE COURSE

The purpose of this interactive course is to deepen our awareness of Emotional Intelligence (El) - the capacity to channel and express one's emotions, and to engage in interpersonal relationships effectively and empathetically.

EI is being aware of our own feelings and actions, as well as being socially-aware of others. Through lecture and engaging conversations, class participants will discover how they can transform the way they communicate, both verbally and non-verbally. 

EI cultivates life skills, learning skills and leadership skills that can be applied to your personal and professional relationships. EI is also foundational for improving job performance, developing high-performing teams and sustaining business results.
