About the Course

"We are wired to connect. Neuroscience has discovered that our brains very design makes it sociable, inexorably drawn into an intimate brain to brain linkup whenever we engage with another person." Daniel Goleman – Prologue – Social Intelligence Emotional and Social Intelligence (ESI) is defined as a set of competencies demonstrating the ability one has to recognize their behaviors, moods, and impulses, and to manage them best according to the situation. This course will give you the tools you need to be emotionally and socially intelligent in your workplace. Having the ability to master ESI gives employees a distinct advantage in their positions. It allows them to access their emotional center while managing their relationships with their team members. Competencies associated with emotional and social intelligence are often what separates an average performer from a great one. And, unlike our overall intelligence, emotional intelligence can be learned and improved over time. In this course, we will explain the value of emotional and social intelligence for professional success. We'll assess current emotional and social intelligence skills and you will discover the Foundational 4 Quadrants of Emotional and Social Intelligence (ESI) to understand, use and manage emotions. We will explain how stress can impact application of emotional and social intelligence skills, and reflect upon needed actions to take to create connections and build relationships for greater professional effectiveness....

Excellent course about ESI. In this course, using Gelman's model, we are exploring self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and emapthy, relationship management and motivation. The course is short but very complete and you will have several opportunities to work on your ESI skills. I really recommend this course.

I was very familiar with the topics and find it comes easy to me, but so many struggle to see things from multiple perspectives. This course did a fantastic job at explaining, as did the resources provided! Iloved the added fun fact details; it made it all the more interesting! I've suggested friends use it for relationship perspectives as well. Thanks for enhancing my perspectives and influencing others! Highly recommend as a requirement for all professiona positions!!

I went into this course skeptical and thinking that ESI is merely a "good to have" rather than a real determinent of success. Boy was I wrong! This course taught me the value of social skills and the profound impact that our emotions and the emotions of others have on all facets of our lives. Would definitely recommend.

I recently enrolled in the online course titled "Emotional and Social Intelligence," and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. This course promised to provide valuable insights into recognizing and managing emotions and behaviors in the workplace, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver on its potential due to the instructor's lackluster performance.

From the very beginning, it was evident that the instructor lacked any semblance of personality or enthusiasm. It felt as though she was merely going through the motions, reading from a script with a dry and monotone delivery that left me struggling to stay engaged. This lack of passion and energy made the course content feel lifeless and uninspiring.

One of the most frustrating aspects of the course was the instructor's tendency to read presentation slides verbatim. This not only made the lectures incredibly dull but also left me wondering why I had enrolled in the course in the first place. I could have easily read the same information from a textbook without subjecting myself to hours of mind-numbing lectures.

The course description promised to help us understand and apply emotional and social intelligence in a professional context. However, the instructor's inability to convey the material in an engaging manner made it challenging to grasp the concepts effectively. I found myself struggling to stay focused and retain the information, which defeated the purpose of taking the course.

I cannot in good conscience recommend the "Emotional and Social Intelligence" course to anyone seeking to develop their emotional and social intelligence skills as I found it to be a tedious and unfulfilling experience. I would advise potential students to seek out alternative courses or resources that offer a more engaging and effective way to develop these essential skills.

ESI is a powerful tool that we all need to cultivate to survive today's world; not only for material growth but also for personal mental health. This course by UC, Davis is effective and practical, enabling the student to take small steps towards developing strong EQ.

However, while the course focuses on changing our social responses to understand better and respond effectively to our surroundings, it barely if at all, considers one's personal health and how our own mental health can be affected by our surroundings. By practicing ESI, we may bring growth and harmony to many others and enable to put up a calm social response, but in reality, within ourselves, our body/mind might not accept our response nor may it be happy with our approach.

I found this course really helpful for my personal and professional development by adopting useful strategies given in this course related to ESI. I would recommend this course to those who are struggling to manage their relations in their personal life and also on workplace. This course will give you better insight about your social and emotional competencies, self-reflection, motivation, self-management and helps to know and understand about self and others effectively so that we can manage and control our emotions and behaviors accordingly and manage our relations well.

I knew going in that I was going to learn a lot but it was more than I expected, and highly illuminating. It's hard to shine a light on ourselves and see ourselves as we really are, and how we react to triggers and emotions, but once we 'lean into' the emotions, we come out better at the other end, I'm a much better person after this course than I was going in because of the knowledge I gained, and I plan to work on the suggested strategies and my own action plan to strengthen my emotional and social intelligence.

Thank you very much for setting up this highly-topical course.

Excellent course about ESI. In this course, using "Daniel Goleman's model" who is the American author of Emotional Intelligence book, we are exploring the 4 quadrants of self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and relationship management. The course is short but very complete and you will have several opportunities to work on your ESI skills. You will learn to fully understand your own emotions and how to read the facial expressions of others to understand what they feel. I highly recommend this course!
