Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence isn't the opposite of intelligence — it's where head and heart actually meet, as psychologist David Caruso put it.
About the course
This 1-day workshop covers intrapersonal intelligence (locus of control, motivation) and interpersonal intelligence (communication style), using case studies to build practical tools for recognising and addressing low emotional competence.

How we run it
The concept of emotional intelligence vs. intelligence quotient is a relatively new one.
"It is very important to understand that emotional intelligence is not the opposite of intelligence, it is not the triumph of heart over head -- it is the unique intersection of both." ~ David Caruso - From ("Emotional What?")
The need for corporations to include and assist with the development of emotional intelligence has been highlighted with the onset of the digital age. Along with computers came not only need for change but a need to adjust expectation and recognise different skills sets.
Studies have proven that individuals with improved emotional competencies are up to four times more successful than their equals with similar IQs.
It therefore stands to reason that all organisations should place emotional intelligence training on their to-do list for this skills year.
