Lunchtime Learning - The Power of Emotional Intelligence (Virtual) (MSLL032321)

What is the formula for success at your job? As a spouse? A parent? As part of your community? Emotional intelligence (EI) is the unique repertoire of emotional skills that we use to navigate the everyday challenges of life. Research has demonstrated that our EI or (EQ) is often a more accurate predictor of success than our IQ. No matter how intellectually intelligent we are, our success is still governed by how well we communicate our ideas and interact with our peers. This course will give you the foundational knowledge to help you understand how to leverage current skill strengths and recognize opportunities for development.
