Welcome to the course
In the short video we discuss the importance of emotional intelligence (EI) in the modern business environment.
We look forward to exploring these topics with you over the next two weeks, as well as providing you with the tools to understand how you might improve your own area of practice.
This week we will look at defining emotional intelligence.
In particular, we will look at the following topics:
- What is emotional intelligence?
