Emotional Intelligence: Everyday Empathy at Work

How can you understand what someone else is feeling if it isn't happening automatically?

How can you work with emotions more effectively?

Discover ways of improving your relationships by using emotions effectively with empathy.

Empathy is one of the key building blocks of great social interactions.   

A lot is talked about regarding empathy, but there is very little practical support to help you to understand empathy and help you to develop your skills in empathy.

Empathy is the art of seeing the world as someone else sees it.  When you have empathy, you can understand what a person is feeling in a given moment, and understand why their actions make sense to them.

Empathy is a core component of emotional intelligence. It helps us to communicate our ideas in a way that makes sense to others, and it helps us understand others when they communicate with us.  Empathy is one of the key building blocks of great social interactions.

The course covers the key components of empathy, why it's important, and how to integrate empathy into your personal and professional life.

The course goes into detail covering

• the relationship between empathy and emotional intelligence

• the science behind empathy and how this can be put to practical use

• effective behaviours to build empathy - interpreting body language and active listening

• strategic ways that you can work with and develop empathy

  
  

This course provides an in-depth exploration of emotional intelligence and the importance of everyday empathy in the workplace.  Through video lectures, interactive practical activities and quizzes, you will be able to identify and develop your emotional intelligence and empathy skills to communicate more effectively with others and build strong, healthy relationships.

You will be able to apply the knowledge gained in this course immediately to your professional and personal live to effectively interact with colleagues and enhance your working environment.

Learn how to develop your empathy by understanding other people's viewpoints and perspectives to build effective, authentic relationships.

PLEASE NOTE - This course is NOT for you if you are not prepared to work through the practical activities that make up a fundamental part of the course.  Empathy cannot be developed just by watching the video lectures.  It requires you to do some reflective thinking, to get some feedback and to discuss your development with others.  I'm afraid that you won't get the best from the course unless you are prepared to do this.
