Practical emotional intelligence for the workplace: recognising your own triggers and stress signals, regulating your reaction before it drives your behaviour, reading colleagues accurately, handling criticism in both directions, and staying composed enough under operational pressure that people keep speaking up.

What you'll learn

  • Describe the five domains of emotional intelligence and the workplace behaviour each one produces
  • Identify your personal triggers and the physical early warning signs that a reaction is building
  • Apply practical regulation techniques — name it, breathe, delay the reply, move — in real pressured moments
  • Check your interpretation of someone else's mood or intent out loud instead of acting on an assumption
  • Give and receive criticism without defensiveness, and separate understanding from agreement
  • Set the emotional tone in high-pressure operational situations so that people stay calm and keep reporting concerns
