This course is tailored to ensure you are not just surviving, but thriving in your doctoral program. By enhancing your emotional intelligence, you will be better equipped to manage stress, overcome obstacles, and maintain a healthy balance between your studies and personal life.

Your emotional intelligence is essential if you want to successfully progress in your career. Not only will you reap the rewards personally by enhancing your performance, but you’ll also foster strong relationships with others, helping you to collectively achieve more.

Psychologist David Goleman has identified four key pillars of emotional intelligence. In this course, you will learn the four pillars skills that are the foundation of emotional intelligence.

The four pillars are:

• Self-Awareness – ability to recognize your own strengths and weakness and the effect your emotions have on others.
• Self-Management – is when we think before acting and express emotions with restraint.
• Social Awareness – ability to recognize others’ emotions and how they influence their behavior. It’s how we “read the room” in interactions.
• Relationship Management – using emotional insights and leadership to foster positive relationships. It’s how you learn to build trust and encourage repeat engagement.
  
  

In this course, you will also learn where and how doctoral students and candidates fit into the academic emotional intelligence puzzle.

During graduate and postdoctoral research, doctoral students and candidates are constantly engaged in academic emotional intelligence training with high-stakes emotions on a regular basis. However, most students and candidates do not realize they are engaged in the skills.

Most of all, you will learn the importance of celebrating your achievements, no matter how big or small. In addition, you will learn to avoid comparing yourself or your accomplishments to other people.

Let’s embark on this path to success together, fully prepared to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.
