Live Online Leading with Emotional Intelligence Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 30, 2026 · from USD 800
Technical expertise may earn a promotion, but how a leader handles pressure, criticism and other people's emotions largely decides whether teams perform or disengage. You begin with the emotional intelligence framework popularised by Daniel Goleman and a self-assessment that shows your current strengths and blind spots. Self-awareness sessions explore values, triggers and the impact of your mood on others. Self-regulation work covers managing stress, impulse control and recovering quickly from setbacks, while empathy sessions build listening, perspective-taking and reading unspoken signals.
Later days apply EI to communication and influence, from difficult feedback and conflict to inspiring commitment during change. The final day turns to teams: building psychological safety, trust and collective emotional awareness that support high performance. Reflective exercises, role-plays and peer coaching help participants practise new responses in realistic leadership situations. Managers, team leaders, senior executives, HR professionals and high-potential staff preparing for leadership will leave with a personal development plan and practical techniques for guiding people with greater self-control, empathy and impact.

About this course
This practical and interactive training focuses on helping leaders apply emotional intelligence to improve communication, decision-making, team engagement, and workplace relationships. The course explores self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, social skills, resilience, and leadership effectiveness. Participants will gain practical skills for managing emotions constructively and leading teams successfully.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how leading with emotional intelligence is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for developing self-awareness as a leader, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
