Emotional Intelligence and Leadership



2,700 people have boosted their EQ with us!


The concept of emotional intelligence was first introduced by Salovey and Mayer in 1990 to describe a type of human intelligence that involves perceiving and managing emotions and using that knowledge to adapt to your environment. There are two main components to emotional intelligence: personal competence and social competence. The former is the ability to recognize your own emotions and control your response to a given situation. The latter involves being aware of others’ emotions so you can build stronger social and professional relationships.

People with high emotional intelligence are generally seen as leaders in a workplace context. Working with emotionally intelligent people tends to have a positive effect on employees’ psychological well-being and engagement.

This seminar will enable you to acquire and fine-tune skills related to emotional intelligence and easily integrate them into your professional life. Using an emotional skills assessment, participants will identify their strengths and areas for improvement in order to take their leadership to the next level.

Participants will receive the results of the following test as part of the course:
