Course description
Motivated business professionals are looking for every edge to be successful in the workplace. Naturally, many develop expertise in technical or task-oriented skills in order to enhance their careers. However, those who have a high level of awareness and control over their emotions, who use their emotions to connect with others and develop positive relationships, will find even greater success in the workplace. This skill is known as emotional intelligence, and it is an essential element in the business world, especially in high-stress environments.
