Module Overview

According to Bradberry and Greaves, emotional intelligence is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage emotions effectively. Emotional Intelligence involves two key competencies: Personal Competence (Self-Awareness and Self-Management) and Social Competence (Social Awareness and Relationship Management). As a people formed as a body, called to love and serve one another, and also reach those not yet believers, emotional intelligence is critical. In this module we'll explore what emotional intelligence (EQ) is, the world of emotion, and how to grow in our EQ.
