Course Aims
Emotional Intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that collectively establish how well you

passing management fad, in fact it is based on a great body of data, based on studies of tens of
thousands of working people taken 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.

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.
