1.1 Introduction
Welcome to the Emotional Intelligence Essentials online course! This course is designed to build upon the foundation established in the “Master Your Emotions” workshop and provide you with a deeper understanding of EI and its practical applications.
In this first lesson, we will revisit the core concepts of EI and explore its significance in various aspects of life.
What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions effectively. It’s about recognizing and understanding your own emotions and those of others, and then using that information to guide your thinking and actions.
Think of EI as a set of skills that help you navigate the complex world of emotions, both within yourself and in your interactions with others.
