Course Description
Tangent at Trinity – Masterclass in Emotional Intelligence for Future Leaders
Trinity College Dublin
In a world of constant change, where agility is required of our organisations and of ourselves, Emotional Intelligence can be the key difference between struggling and thriving. Emotional Intelligence (otherwise known as Emotional Quotientor, or EQ) can be defined as the ability to recognise and manage our own emotions and recognise and influence the emotions of others.
