This course will help participants to understand and demonstrate emotional intelligence as it relates to their own behaviors and understanding others. The course explains the difference between emotional intelligence and intellectual intelligence, how to regulate emotions through practicing self-awareness, the Emotional and Social Competence Inventory Model (ESCI), and how to develop and apply emotional intelligence within your career. This course will put into context how certain reactions, emotions, and behaviors can impact working effectively with others, and how having the ability to understand other’s emotions is a key component in developing yourself as a leader.
