Emotional Intelligence at Work

Course Code: 2341
Your emotions can drive your passion and performance, but they can also get in the way of supporting and listening to others and can stop you from being a trusted leader. Knowing how to recognize your own emotions is the first step in learning to deal with other’s emotions.

Emotions don’t just come into play, they are present and impactful all day, every day when you are dealing with people.
