Workshop Overview:
Emotional intelligence encompasses the personal, emotional, and social abilities and skills which allow us to succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures. Those with high emotional intelligence readily recognize their feelings, manage their reactions, and build positive interactions with others. In this guided asynchronous course, we will unpack what emotional intelligence is. Then, we’ll learn to develop our emotional intelligence to improve our personal resilience and performance, and learn to skillfully apply the appropriate emotions at the appropriate time.
Additional Information:
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Fundamentals is a four-week, facilitator-led online learning experience. In this online course, participants will spend about 30 minutes each week engaging with learning and participating in online discussions supported by Organizational and Human Development learning specialists. At the end of the course, participants will complete a mini knowledge-check quiz and earn a Workday learning record. We recommend taking Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Fundamentals before attending Emotional Intelligence at Work.
