The Daniel Goleman Emotional Intelligence Courses (DGEIC) combine guided facilitation, evidence-based knowledge of what drives meaningful behavioral change, and the experiences that build impactful EI competencies.
This is the only emotional intelligence digital training program affiliated with Dr. Goleman, created in direct collaboration with him, and founded on his model of the Emotional and Social Intelligence Leadership Competency.
Widely credited for popularizing EI, Daniel Goleman is an internationally known psychologist, author, and speaker. As a science journalist, he reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for the New York Times. He has a Ph.D. in Psychology from Harvard University, and is a contributor to Harvard Business Review and Korn Ferry Briefings. His 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, was on the New York Times best-seller list and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
While the courses are not taught or facilitated by Dr. Goleman, the asynchronous weekly module content features Dr. Goleman and his collaborative work. The course facilitators you will engage with have also been certified and trained in-depth on his emotional intelligence model.
The DGEIC tracks the latest neuroscience research on the dynamics of relationships and data on the impact EI has on an organization’s bottom line. Our engaging courses, inspiring community, vetted facilitators, and hands-on tools help learners bridge the gap between theory and practice.
