It was important for me to look into my leadership style and be more resilient in this ever-changing world. One of the big highlights was my one on one coaching with Dr Ali Budjanovcanin, it shone a light on some of the areas you are not aware of and need to improve. Learning in a group from diverse countries and sectors was immensely useful and insightful. I would recommend this course to anyone who leads a team and is a leader making decisions for their team or company.

EQ is about a set of skills that we can learn and improve, which will allow us to make constructive use of our own and others emotional responses. In improving those skills we become much more adept at influencing people and can change our working relationships for the better. When you come away from this course, not only will you have a better idea of where your strengths and areas of improvement are on 15 different key skills, but you’ll be well equipped with ideas around how to tackle interpersonal challenges in your own working life.
