About the Course

Regardless of the level of technical expertise your organisation possesses, it will be emotional expertise that takes you to the highest levels of performance.

The concept of emotional intelligence first broke into mainstream management in the mid 1990s. In the last 13 years, there have been major advances. Organisations who have used emotional competencies have demonstrated substantial bottom line improvements as a direct result of these efforts.

And now, you can do the same.

In fact, several studies have shown that Emotional Intelligence (EI), which is based on Emotional Competence (EC) or Emotional Expertise (EE), almost always separates successful, high performing individuals from the average employee.

In this course you will learn the essential elements of emotional intelligence and gain practical understanding of the key emotional competencies, integrating Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). You will also learn the how to develop emotional expertise; the course will define the steps for building peak performance through emotional expertise.
