This free emotional intelligence course has been viewed over 250,000 times and adopted by organisations around Australia. We originally commercialised it on platforms like Udemy. Now we're making it freely available to everyone.
Why? Because we believe emotional intelligence is the single most important capability a leader or manager can develop.
Emotional intelligence isn't a soft skill; it's a performance multiplier. Research consistently links high EI to better decision-making, stronger team engagement, and more effective leadership outcomes.
This free five-part micro-course cuts through the theory and gives you practical tools you can apply immediately. In approximately one hour, you'll work through real workplace scenarios, test your understanding with quick quizzes, and download resources you can use individually or deploy across your team.
What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage your own emotions and to read and influence the emotions of others. For leaders and managers, it's the foundation of effective communication, conflict resolution, and team performance.
