Course Overview

Most professionals know what emotional intelligence is. Far fewer have developed it deliberately enough to apply it consistently under pressure in a difficult performance conversation, a tense negotiation, or a team dynamic that’s quietly deteriorating before anyone names what’s happening. Technical skills get people into leadership roles. Emotional intelligence determines how well they perform once they’re there.

This Advanced Emotional Intelligence program covers emotional self awareness, managing emotions, and empathy skills across leadership, team collaboration, and interpersonal relationship contexts. It sits within our corporate training programs portfolio bringing the same rigorously practical, behaviorally focused approach to emotional intelligence development that we apply across our leadership and professional development programs.

 Whether you’re a senior professional who understands EI conceptually but hasn’t built the application habits that make a real behavioral difference, or a manager whose team dynamics consistently reveal emotional intelligence gaps, this program develops the emotional intelligence skills that move understanding into practice.

  • Case Study

Case Study Example

A financial services firm had identified emotional intelligence as the primary differentiating factor between its highest-performing relationship managers and those producing average results. The technical knowledge was equivalent across both groups. The difference was consistently in how individuals handled client tension, managed their own emotional reactions under deal pressure, and built the trust that turns transactional relationships into long-term partnerships. After key relationship managers completed this Advanced Emotional Intelligence program, client satisfaction scores in the cohort improved measurably in the following two quarters, and the self-reported confidence of participants in managing difficult client conversations increased significantly across the group.
