Course details

Emotional intelligence or EQ has only recently emerged as a desirable trait both in personal and professional domains. It is described as the ability to understand ourselves and others in terms of emotions, to relate well to others and to adapt emotions in relation to others and ourselves. While IQ is important and is the universal benchmark for intelligence, EQ is equally significant in determining the quality of interpersonal relationships which contributes to defining pathways to success. Having a higher level of EQ suggests that an inpidual has a great capacity for comprehending emotions and is able to adapt easily.

EQ, especially in a professional setting, is synonymous with great leadership skills. An inpidual with a high level of EQ is not only able to perceive, express and understand emotions but is also able to adapt to different environments and cope with stressful situations in a better manner. The truly inspirational and successful people are not in a league of their own because of their IQ but because of a high level of EQ. These people are able to be effective communicators at both a personal and professional level. This course will cover a wide range of topics related to EQ from ways in which emotional intelligence can be enhanced to assisting participants in creating a personal vision statement of improving relationships at a personal and professional level.
