Introduction
In his popular book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, Psychologist Daniel Goleman brought the idea of EI to the masses. Goleman based his ideas on emerging work in neuroscience that shows that the emotional centres of the brain are involved in everything we think and do and are enormously important in our daily life.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to observe, distinguish, control and appraise our emotions. The aim is to use our awareness of EI to manage our behaviour and relationships.

The Course & EI
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been widely promoted in the press, trade journals and scientific literature. Most people have heard the claims by writers such as Daniel Goleman, who stated ‘it matters twice as much as IQ’ (Goleman, 1998) or that EI and good communication skills are ‘positively related’ (Erigüç & Köse, 2013). A meta‐analysis, also published in 2010, found a positive and significant correlation with job performance (O’Boyle et al, 2010).
It has also been strongly argued that EI can improve sales, communication and improve leadership and work‐performance (Pratt et al, 2003).
EI is about being aware of emotions in yourself and others, and being able to manage those emotions.
This course will cover topics such as; Understanding your personality style, giving feedback to others, dealng with ‘difficult’ people, removing the barriers to communication, cross‐cultural communication and the science of body‐language.
