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.

You will take away a portfolio of realistic, relevant and immediately usable models, techniques and approaches that will dramatically improve your performance as a communicator. They will help create, and maintain productive working relationships with colleagues. It will also help contribute to agile team performance.
