When we hear the word intelligence, most of us think of our IQ scores. However, there are many types of intelligence that move beyond the basic view of cognitive abilities. Most organizations seek employees with high emotional intelligence because employees high in emotional intelligence are strong in self-monitoring emotion, able to distinguish between different emotions, have the ability to label emotions appropriately, and are able to use emotional information to guide their thinking and behavior. In many ways, one’s emotional intelligence is more important to personal success than cognitive intelligence. This course discusses several types of intelligence, the components of emotional intelligence, and ways to improve emotional intelligence personally and professionally.

Communication is an essential part of our everyday interactions. We enter into this world knowing how to communicate with our parents and caregivers and continue to build our communication skills as we expand our social circles. The challenge in our communication skills development is building our listening skills, as most of us find that talking comes more instinctively. There are many reasons for ineffective listening, but the biggest one is that people have poor listening habits acquired through a lifetime of routine, casual conversations without a significant need for strong listening skills. This means we don’t have those skills honed when we really need them in our personal or work relationships. This course discusses the communication process, explains how people perceive others, and describes ways for people to become better listeners.
