Emotional Intelligence: A 20/20 MDS® eLearning Course
Although there is some dispute about what constitutes human intelligence or human emotion (and how it might be successfully measured) this module suggests that the term emotional intelligence draws on two simple concepts. To be 'intelligent' or what we will term 'applying knowledge appropriately' and to be 'emotionally astute' or 'tuned in', or what we will term 'applying feelings appropriately'. Emotional intelligence is driven by two major factors. These are people's basic drive or motivation and the relative structure or flexibility of their thinking about themselves and others. It is therefore suggested that 'applying knowledge appropriately' is fundamentally about 'analysis' and 'intuition', and 'applying feelings appropriately' is fundamentally about 'experience' and 'expression'.
Grounded in the work of modern day psychology and neuro-science, this workshop will introduce four emotional intelligence styles that people are likely to adopt in varying degrees in dealing with life in general and other people in particular. By learning what contribution each of these style types makes, we can start to recognize that style versatility is likely to lead to the most beneficial outcome in most cases.
It is recommended that participants undertake the Emotional Intelligence Profile in conjunction with this course.
