Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Training - Online Instructor-led 3hours

As part of our newly redeveloped Signature Series Courses, the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) training course teaches you how to develop your emotional intelligence or your ability to manage your responses based on your objective assessment of different personalities and situations.

This newly found emotional "awareness" allows you to communicate more effectively, succeed at work and achieve your career and personal goals in a shorter amount of time.

This is a practical class that is suitable for all audiences and provides people with the tools that they can apply on-the-job (and in other contexts) the very next day. This is an instructor-led class that you can attend from home or your office.

"The course is good to understand where I stand and what boundaries I should push to work collaboratively in a process to achieve better results."

 

"The most useful part was the reinforcement of my understanding that everyone thinks and works differently and that everyone has a role in the team, the bit I think could be expanded is how to implement the knowledge to actual work situations to get a more productive workplace."


"This course was very useful in determining how other Employee's think, act & work in their current roles & how they deal with issues that affect their work environment."

 

"Derrick did a great job at keeping consistent audience engagement and delivering the course content in an interesting and exciting way. A structure was identified at the start to give the audience an overall picture of how the course would be delivered. Confidentiality was promoted and everyone was encouraged to interact and give their opinions and thoughts, which helped the learning process. Derrick spoke with great energy and enthusiasm, and made full use of the space within the room."


-Department of Transport and Main Roads Metro District


 

"I found the course to be very interesting and valuable. The Trainer James was interesting and engaging and I learnt a lot about myself and other members of the group.

"This course is absolutely great. It is very concise and yet action orientated to help build emotional intelligence. I would really appreciate a follow up session or perhaps a group follow-up forum/meeting to consolidate lessons-learned and debrief. Many thanks!"


-Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development


 

"I thought the trainer was excellent and delivered the material in a very professional manner.


-Brimbank City Council


 

""Most useful: The discussions during the course focuses on tools and techniques to resolve the problems identified with EQ rather than just identifying/classifying people. Also appreciated that the trainer highlights that the most important is to practice the tools and techniques and to allow mistakes and learn from them."


-Woodside Energy Ltd


 

"can't recommend enough, get to know yourself and your colleague in a scientific and fun session!"

"I see this as a very good staff educational tool for businesses who have a lot of staff in a close contact office/open environment.

"Both Derrick and his content were amazing, as was Fraser McFarlane. PD Training, as always have been amazing. Thank you"

"Was a very interesting course! and i would definitely recommend to everyone."

-AUSTREX Pty Ltd


 

"Overall I enjoyed the course, especially learning about the brain which provided a greater understanding of EI and why people may react in a certain way."


-Perth Convention Bureau


 

"Discussion in class was enlightening - sometimes in a situation you feel you haven't handled it well and the discussion highlighted situations where others had felt the same - this was good for me to realise that I'm not alone in some situations. I have since looked back over the worksheets and manual and have become more self-aware, especially in social situations I can look back and determine what my triggers are when I become defensive or emotionally upset by the words/actions of others."

The Trainer also provided us with useful tips on resources and references that would help us further develop our understanding of aspects of EQ that were most relevant to our personal objectives which was extremely useful."

Healthy Emotions + Clear Thinking + Appropriate Action = High EQ 

Emotional intelligence is a skill. And like any other skill, you can get better at it with training and practice. It allows you to read the personality style of individuals and adjust your communications accordingly without being controlled by your underlying emotions. 

This one day training course is useful for anyone who leads or works with other people, no matter what size the organisation. This course will focus on the five core competencies of emotional intelligence: self-management, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation and empathy, and it also includes a review of your interpersonal skills. 

You will learn to develop and implement these competencies to enhance your relationships in work and life by increasing your understanding of social and emotional behaviours, and learning how to adapt and manage your responses to particular situations.  The PD Training Emotional Intelligence Course teaches you how to build stronger relationships, how to empathise with others, how to manage your stress levels, how to overcome challenging situations, how to diffuse personal conflicts and much more.

Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

live online & hybrid

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
