Emotional Intelligence

Before you get started, here’s all you need to know about the course and how it works.

There are 5 Learning Outcomes

By the end of your course you will be equipped with a toolkit that will enable you to build your Emotional Intelligence further, and have actions to move forward in the following areas:

• Understand Emotional Intelligence. You will have an understanding of Emotional Intelligence and how to develop it further
• Build Self Awareness. You will know your strengths, weaknesses, inner critic and limiting beliefs
• Be more at Choice. You will be more in control of how you respond to situations
• Take more Personal Responsibility. You will have tools to operate more consciously, taking personal responsibility
• Understand Others Better. You will have a better understanding of others perspectives, and how this can help you to build relationships

There are 6 Modules, over 6 Weeks

The course consists of 6 modules over 6 weeks, and you must do them in order. Access to each module is released on the day of your CONNECT call, to start a new week.

Module 1: Let’s get Emotional!

This module will explore emotions as a foundation to Emotional Intelligence, why they matter, their impact on you, and how you can manage them to build emotional agility. We will also look at the impact of emotional intelligence on your work and build on your self-awareness so that you can thrive in the current complexity of work.

Module 2: Shining on Full Beam

This module will focus on who you are when you are shining on full beam, and the role that your strengths and weaknesses play in this. We focus predominantly on your strengths and spend some time on how to mitigate your weaknesses, rather than develop them, where possible.

Module 3: Barriers to Full Beam

This module is about building your self-awareness further by getting to know the barriers that get in the way of you shining on full beam. You will spend time getting to know your Inner Critic, and exploring your Limiting Beliefs. You will then look at how you can better manage both.

Module 4: Being at Choice

This module shines a light on the importance of the choices we make, and how, to build emotional intelligence, we need to choose consciously how we respond to the situations we face. We explore perspectives and how we directly impact every outcome to every interaction we have.

Module 5: Learnings, Intentions and Progress

This module is all about reflecting and consolidating your learning so far. You will pull together all of your intentions from across the previous 4 modules and reflect on the progress you have made. You will also have time to reflect on how to bring to life the intentions that you have yet to start.

Module 6: What now?

This final module focuses on reflecting on how you will continue your learning after the course. You will have the opportunity to build on your progress by identifying what you would like to work on going forward, with your programme buddy as your cheerleader.

The Learning Approach is Blended

The programme is designed to include various learning modes:

• CONNECT. There will be Weekly Teams/Zoom Calls with your cohort and your Course Coach. You will be coached around what you are learning, how you are applying it and have the opportunity to ask questions and share learnings
• LEARN. There are short Narrated Presentations throughout the programme, these cover the theories, models and techniques that you will be working with
• APPLY. There is an Interactive Workbook where you will complete the activities, as well as have ongoing access to your work. This can be downloaded onto your PC/MAC, or printed out
• REFLECT. As well as time for weekly reflection, the last two modules of the course, Learnings, Intentions and Progress and What now? are designed specifically for reflection

The Learning Blocks are designed to be Bite-sized

The course has been designed so that you can learn when suits you, to fit in with your other commitments and for you to be in control of your diary:

• Over the six-week course you will complete a total learning time of 14 hours
• Each module is between 2.5 and 3 hours (Including your one hour CONNECT call)
• The learning blocks are a combination of 20, 30, 40 or 60 minutes in duration
• We recommend that at the start of each module you set aside time in your diary to complete the topics in a way that best suits you

You will have a Learning Buddy

You will be allocated a Learning Buddy, someone on your cohort who we invite you to connect with throughout the course.

We know that by sharing your learning journey you are more likely to make progress and take action. With your Learning Buddy you can:

• Support each other throughout the course
• Hold each other to account each week
• Share your learnings, and learn from each other
• Challenge each other to push beyond your comfort zone

What happens next?

1. The next step is to attend your first CONNECT call and meet your Coach and your cohort. You will have received a date and time for this in your joining instructions but if you haven’t, please email support@elevatepeopleacademy.com
2. You will now have access to the Interactive Workbook, you can download it ready to get started in the next section
3. You will receive an email about who your Learning Buddy is before your first CONNECT call, where you will get to meet each other.

Enjoy the course!
