Course Overview - 2 days
Technologically, the capabilities of the human race continue to evolve at an awe inspiring pace! Yet emotionally, the "naked ape" can still find himself (or herself) at the mercy of primitive emotional drives - fear, anger, insecurity. Once, these drives were healthy and useful - sometimes they still are. But how would it be to be able to choose when such feelings are appropriate, and when they are less useful? Emotional intelligence is about deciding when emotional response is most helpful for you (and for others) and developing the emotional capabilities to command and guide feelings with integrity.
