Introduction to Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is more than understanding emotions. It's the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own emotions while responding effectively to the emotions of others. This course explores the four core components of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Through real-life examples and practical application, you'll learn to respond more intentionally and strengthen how you connect with others.
