Course Description

Emotional Intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that collectively establish how well you perceive and express yourself, maintain social relationships, and cope with challenges. It's not just a passing management fad; in fact, it is based on a great body of data, gathered from studies of tens of thousands of working people from a wide range of industries.

The research shows which qualities make a star performer, and while Emotional Intelligence isn't the sole predictor of performance potential, it has been proven to be a key indicator in this area.

This course will introduce the concept of emotional intelligence and look at how you can use it in effective and meaningful ways. It will examine the difference between emotional intelligence and IQ and dispel some of the myths surrounding emotional intelligence. It contains sections on the advantages and disadvantages of using emotional intelligence and considers the biological purpose of emotions and how best to manage them. Finally, it will highlight the role played by emotions in the workplace and provide practical advice, including tips for using emotional intelligence to deal effectively with emotions in situations that can arise in the workplace.

Target Audience

This course is aimed at supervisors and managers who want to develop more effective relationships with members of their teams. The course can be a great starting point for people new to their leadership role, as well as more established managers who want to enhance their skills. This acts as a great introduction to the subject and covers the key concepts and theories relating to emotional intelligence.

This course can be sold to individuals who are doing the training for themselves, or it can be pitched to businesses who might want to put all of their first-line management team through the training, so they all work in the same way and have the same skill set.

Advantages

CPD approval means that this course can be used by those who need to prove they are continually developing themselves.

Online training is flexible, efficient, and cost-effective, meaning the candidate can progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time, so they can fit the training around their work and personal life.

Further Progression

For candidates that want to add more qualifications to their CV, our Leadership Skills course is ILM approved and can provide them with another recognised management qualification.

For candidates specifically interested in developing resilient teams, our Developing Teamwork course goes hand in hand with this one and expands on some of the key ideas and how they can be applied to teams.

For candidates new to management roles, Managing Meetings would be a great next step, although working through any of our range of Business Skills courses would be valuable.
