YOUR JOURNEY
Welcome to the Self-Awareness: Emotional Intelligence at Work program. This course was designed for leaders like you to provide you with enhanced skills for use during all your workplace interactions. Emotional intelligence is the capacity to understand and manage your emotions. The skills involved in emotional intelligence are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Embracing the nuances of human emotion in the workplace can have pragmatic benefits, such as better collaboration among employees and a happier workplace. Every day we make emotionally charged decisions: we feel plan A is better than plan B and we sometimes make choices based on our emotions or gut feelings. For emotional intelligence to be effective, it must start with yourself. You cannot distill or enhance other people’s well-being, improvement and sense of self without first understanding how you operate on an emotional level. What distinguishes leaders is usually their level of emotional intelligence and self-awareness, and it is those skills which help to develop a more effective workplace. STARTS
