Understanding and Applying EQ
Daniel Goleman’s Theory of Emotional Intelligence is the foundation of Inforum’s flagship program Executive Leadership. Achieving your full potential as a leader is centered on the mastery of four core areas: 1) Self-Awareness; 2) Self-Management; 3) Social Awareness; and 4) Relationship Management.
Inforum’s EQ Essentials goes beyond explaining EQ: the course gives you a step-by-step approach to increase your EQ and is an ideal precursor to Inforum’s Executive Leadership program.
