Emotional Intelligence and Soft-Skills Training
Emotional Intelligence: "The ability to recognise, understand and manage our own emotions and empathise with the emotions of others."
Emotional Intelligence (sometimes referred to as EI or EQ) is a recognised structured methodology for soft-skills development. Research has shown that companies in which staff demonstrate higher than average Emotional Intelligence are significantly more profitable than companies that don't. Far from being a 'soft' or 'woolly' concept, Emotional Intelligence has a tangible effect on a business's bottom line.
The good news is that unlike IQ, which remains largely fixed throughout our adult lives, Emotional Intelligence skills can be learned. Our EI training package has identified the 6 key areas that we believe are most effective when applied to the business environment. Looking at everything from managing stress to effective communication, this training can have a transformative effect on your workplace environment. The course can be delivered as an entire package, or each separate area can be taught as a standalone, half-day course, meaning our EI training can be adapted to suit your specific needs. As with all our training, the methods we use to embed key Emotional Intelligence skills within your staff are fun, innovative and designed to appeal to a complete range of learning styles. Our Free Training Needs Consultation can help you decide which areas are most relevant for your business and will bring you the most significant Return on Investment.

The Independent
"Emotional intelligence is the new issue for both employers and employees. Whilst everyone has qualifications, now maturity, flexibility and the ability to handle people are in demand. Now emotional intelligence can be developed into emotional competency, which in turn can be used to turn difficult situations into rewarding ones".
Daily Express
