SEE THE GROWTH YOU WANT

The focus of this professional development program on Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is to learn to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions in an effective and positive way. A higher EQ helps individuals to communicate better, reduce their anxiety and stress, defuse conflicts, improve relationships, empathize with others, and effectively overcome life’s challenges. Shifting to a virtual world requires more attunement, connection, utilization of different tools and skills, where picking up on queues is a necessity. This program will enable you to do just that. This is a foundation course for the Roberto C. Goizueta Leadership Certificate and applies to the Certificate of Excellence in Business.
