About this course

Build the four core abilities of emotional intelligence using the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso model, Gross's emotion-regulation research, and the Gottman relationship findings. You will practise naming feelings precisely, calming your nervous system, listening so people feel understood, and repairing ruptures. Every lesson includes named frameworks, real numbers, and worked examples you can apply at home and at work.
