Why Take this Course

Life can be stressful. Our emotions are the cause of stress.  If you manage and lead, you also have to contend with stresses of others. Since emotions are ‘catching’ there’s also the impact of an individual’s emotions on the whole team or organisation.

This course will help you manage your own emotions better and those of others.  In doing so, you’ll perform better, keep others motivated and develop improved relationships.

The risk of ignoring emotional intelligence has never been greater.   So if you want to avoid losing great people and prevent lapses in performance, this is the course for you.
