As part of our newly redeveloped Signature Series Courses, The Emotional Intelligence (EQ) training course teaches you how to develop your emotional intelligence or your ability to manage your responses based on your objective assessment of different personalities and situations.

After completing this 3hour course, you will have learned: what is EQ, the four core skills required to practice EQ (self-management, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation), how to use empathy, how to interpret, manage and articulate your emotions using the right language.  You will complete a personality profile which will help you understand the potential differences among the various personality types and where you currently fit.

This newly found emotional "awareness" allows you to communicate more effectively, succeed at work and achieve your career and personal goals in a shorter amount of time.

This is a practical class that is suitable for all audiences and provides people with the tools that they can apply on-the-job (and in other contexts) the very next day.

This is an instructor-led class that you can attend from home or your office. 

The virtual classroom uses an advanced version of Zoom called 'Zoom for Webinars' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, and we use tools such as live polls, private group chats and participants can 'raise their hand' so you virtually have the same collaborative classroom based learning experience.

These courses are facilitated in English and are open to people from different industries across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong - this is a short but powerful learning experience that gives you global collaboration opportunities.

**Please note, these classes run to a very tight schedule, please follow the invitation and join the class 10-minutes prior to commencement so you are ready to participate and don't miss a minute!
