Emotional intelligence and emotional maintenance Mentoring session

High emotional intelligence for individualS, high EI results predicting more successful and satisfied life outcomes, such as in personal relationships, career success, happiness, and health ( Baron 2006, Mayer et al, 2008)

What is clear is that within the dynamic fast-paced technology-led changing social and work environments we live in today, our management of emotions, cognitive process and our overall wellbeing will be underpinned by emotional intelligence. The specific emotional and competencies we build up in this area will play a greater role in people’s life successes (Mayer, Roberts and Barsade 2008, Salovey et al 2012). More recent work on the study of emotional competencies and their potential impact on the management of organisations is beginning to unfold. One such key area of understanding is that of the ‘Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence.

We go through emotional competencies to develop on the course.
