Course Info
Emotional intelligence (EI) is sometimes referred to as Emotional Quotient or Emotional Literacy. Individuals with emotional intelligence are able to relate to others with compassion and empathy, have well-developed social skills, and use this emotional awareness to direct their actions and behavior. The term was coined in 1990 by psychologists John Mayer and Peter Salovey. In 1995, psychologist/journalist Daniel Goleman published the highly successful Emotional Intelligence, which built on Mayer and Salovey’s work and popularized the EI concept. The workshop attempts to equip the participants with different aspects of the emotional intelligence philosophy to promote a more productive working relationships, better outcomes, and enhanced personal satisfaction..
