The course really helped me understand not only communicating with my colleagues but also my friends/my housemates at home, as the majority of the year has been spent with them. It's helped me understand why we might very easily knock heads with another individual in our life.

How to know yourself better to work more effectively with others
Communicate in a way that drives productive, not destructive, relationships
In our world of frantic workplaces, scarce resources, and tight deadlines, it’s easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment and forget that it takes two people to make a working relationship productive. Yet it’s the human side of business which makes ideas happen, gets decisions made, smooths over conflict, and motivates others. Emotional intelligence is the awareness, control, and expression of both parties’ emotions, to facilitate understanding and productive relationships. It's about managing emotions to bring better results.
In this reflective half-day workshop, participants will learn about the three key elements of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, appreciation of others’ needs (empathy), and self-management to bring the best out in others.
