Emotional Intelligence Course

Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), University of Sydney


Short Course

Course Overview

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a key driver of effective communication, collaboration, and wellbeing. In fact, EI is an even bigger influence on your workplace performance than IQ (Goleman, 2014). This engaging and practical course explores the four quadrants of EI—awareness, management, social and relationships—helping you harness the power of emotions to improve your interactions, decision-making, and workplace performance.

 

No matter your role or industry, developing EI enhances teamwork, customer service, and overall job satisfaction. Emotional intelligence can be improved at any point in life. This course provides valuable insights and hands-on strategies to help you become more self-aware, navigate emotions effectively, and build strong professional and personal relationships.

 

Through interactive discussions and practical exercises, you’ll gain tools to understand and manage emotions—both yours and those of others—leading to more productive and positive interactions in the workplace and beyond.
