About the Course

"We are wired to connect. Neuroscience has discovered that our brains very design makes it sociable, inexorably drawn into an intimate brain to brain linkup whenever we engage with another person." Daniel Goleman – Prologue – Social Intelligence Emotional and Social Intelligence (ESI) is defined as a set of competencies demonstrating the ability one has to recognize their behaviors, moods, and impulses, and to manage them best according to the situation. This course will give you the tools you need to be emotionally and socially intelligent in your workplace. Having the ability to master ESI gives employees a distinct advantage in their positions. It allows them to access their emotional center while managing their relationships with their team members. Competencies associated with emotional and social intelligence are often what separates an average performer from a great one. And, unlike our overall intelligence, emotional intelligence can be learned and improved over time. In this course, we will explain the value of emotional and social intelligence for professional success. We'll assess current emotional and social intelligence skills and you will discover the Foundational 4 Quadrants of Emotional and Social Intelligence (ESI) to understand, use and manage emotions. We will explain how stress can impact application of emotional and social intelligence skills, and reflect upon needed actions to take to create connections and build relationships for greater professional effectiveness....

The course was good. Since the Daniel Goleman books referenced in the course are more than 10 years old, I would have liked to see more recent research on emotions from neuroscience incorporated.

This was the least meaty and most underwhelming of all the courses I have taken. From spelling and grammar mistakes in the assessments to "trick" questions.

This course could have been amazing. But many of the important pieces were tucked in videos, and not easy to find to make notes.

NOT impressed

The instructor is very clear concise and easy to understand. She has some very good helpful information. The lessons are clear and the progression from one lesson to the next are clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed the variety of lesson type, with reading, videos, quizzes etc. the instructor has a very pleasant voice and is very articulate and very thoughtful in the information she chose to share. I would recommend the class.

Wonderfully detailed and oh so helpful, for growing my understanding of ESI, and really enhancing my abilities even more. I was very pleased to learn formally, that I was already doing a lot of things very well. Now I can really develop and offer even more to my Team and collogues and build better and new relationships. This course really is, a must have item, for the "toolbox" of Leaders at all levels!!

Highly recommend this course! The videos, readings, and responses are great ways to psychologically absorb and reflect on your actions in your life and in the workplace. It's also very modern and relevant to today's workplace! I really learned how my emotions are so impactful and these are key leadership & relationship skills that anyone should sharpen!

Extremely professional, well done, quick and free. I saw courses on other platforms which cost a lot, but this course is much better, professional and short. I would like to pay for a longer course with a bit more information about applying this information to clients. Alas, this is one of the best courses on ESI today. Thank you VERY much.

This course awakened me with the truth that emotional and social intelligence is the measure of a great leader. It pushed me to reflect on myself and identify gaps in my ESI and to commit to actions I could take. My cup is filled with gratitude!

Everyone should learn this course irrespective of their position. When we become emotionally and socially intelligent, it becomes very easy to interact with each other and build trust amongst ourselves and avoid negativity. Excellent course!

Me encantó este curso. Creo sería de mucho beneficio para todos, poder comprendernos de mejor manera, ser mas tolerantes mediante la empatia y eliminar sesgos, prejuicios y barreras. !Todos seríamos más felices! ;)

Amazing. Thanks to this course I am now very interested on this topic. In fact I had Goleman's book burried in my library. I started to read it to deep dive into this!
