Course Overview

The performance of individuals is important as it determines the individuals’ success and the survival of the organization. In this course we will provide participants with the means to improve their performance levels through the competency that, more than any other, impacts everything one says and does. Emotional intelligence (EI) is that competency and it has been proven to be an important predictor of performance in the workplace, a strong driver of leadership and a main force behind personal and organizational excellence. Participants to this course will explore and apply strategies that focus their energies and help them connect constructively with customers and colleagues for a more engaged and performing work environment.
