What You Will Learn
This course explores little known ways that emotional intelligence can be used in the workplace by investigating what it is and what it is not. It covers the main models of emotional intelligence and what they mean but more importantly how they can be practically applied at work.
The course resolves any confusion you may have around some of the terminology used in various emotional intelligence courses, such as what is the difference between EI and EQ? You'll get to understand why EI is a broader term that covers emotional intelligence in much more depth.
People often talk about positive and negative emotions. This is not that helpful as emotions cannot really be labelled in that way. The course also covers the myths around positive and negative emotions and why this terminology is not appropriate when working to understand emotions and emotional intelligence in the workplace.
The course investigates the advantages and disadvantages of emotional intelligence, ways it can be improved and some do's and don'ts of working with emotional intelligence. It will test your emotional intelligence!
Recognise the importance of understanding the emotions that you experience.
Examine how to practise and learn how to develop emotional intelligence.
Discover how to improve your relationships and performance by gaining insights into the emotions of other people.
Identify why you react to situations with a particular focus on how your feelings and emotions impact upon your performance.
State what actions you can take to work with emotional intelligence.
Describe simple solutions for improving emotional intelligence.
Description
Emotional intelligence is an aspect of you as a whole person affecting your work life and your personal life.
Your emotional intelligence is your ability to combine your thinking with your feelings in order to build good quality relationships and to make good authentic decisions. It is managing who you are in the moment to meet your emotional needs through conscious choice and is fundamental to leading a full, rich and rewarding life.
Emotional intelligence is different from IQ - cognitive intelligence, and offers a different perspective on success and performance at work. There are many parts to emotional intelligence - it predicts effectiveness and can be changed and developed.
Research suggests that emotional intelligence and cognitive intelligence (IQ) are unconnected: you can have a high level of emotional intelligence but a low level of cognitive intelligence, and vice versa.
