Assertiveness 

Understanding how you come across to others is at the heart of good communication skills.

It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.

Our emotions have a mind of their own, one which can hold views quite independently of our own rational mind.

Emotional Intelligence 

Did you ever stop to wonder why we are all so different in how we react to situations? Something that makes you furious gets a shrug of the shoulders from someone else; or someone loses their temper and you can't see what the big deal is. This becomes even trickier in the workplace if you work within or manage teams – how do you learn what makes others tick and how can you better deal with it?

Who should attend?

Emotional Intelligence is now believed to be the greatest differentiator between being a good manager or leader and being a great one. Additionally, Emotional Intelligence is essential for all the relationships we have – whether with colleagues, friends, family or partners.
