An Overview of EI
You don’t need to be an expert in emotional intelligence (EI), to recognize it when it’s missing. Maybe you’ve had a boss who couldn’t manage their emotions, a loved one who struggled to connect, or even found yourself so busy that you pushed your own feelings aside—only to have them surface in unexpected ways. These moments stick with us, shaping not just our experiences, but also the reputation and impact we leave behind. This course is for anyone ready to understand their emotions, lead with intention, and build stronger, more meaningful relationships.
In this self-paced, 1-week introductory online course, you’ll explore the four key components of EI—Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management—and why they matter. Start with a baseline assessment, to identify your strengths and areas for growth. If you want more, add on Modules 2-6 to dive into each component, including practical strategies, guided exercises, and opportunities for meaningful reflection.
With videos, audio insights, and the Emotional Intelligence Mastery Workbook, you’ll gain the tools to apply EI skills in real-world situations. For those seeking additional support, optional coaching is available for help you create and implement a personalized plan for growth.
