I registered for the courses, but I need to cancel. Can I get a refund?

We understand life – and extenuating circumstances – happen.

If you need to cancel your course registration, the following schedule applies:

  • We offer a full refund within 24 hours of registering, regardless of your registration date.
  • We offer a full refund, minus a $75 non-refundable administration fee, up to 7 days before your cohort begins.
  • We offer a 50% refund from 7 days before your cohort begins until 7 days after your cohort begins.
  • No refund is offered after the first 7 days of your cohort.

 

Please contact us to confirm with your intent to cancel and we will follow up based on the policy noted above.

Is this asynchronous or synchronous?

All of the Daniel Goleman EI courses are online, asynchronous, and released in weekly modules that include video, audio, reading, and reflection. You can pace yourself through each week in a way that best aligns with your schedule, while engaging with your cohort community and facilitator.

This course fosters a rich community of EI change-makers and is designed to optimize your Learner experience through a combination of engaging course content, skilled facilitators, and practical tools to help you bridge the gap between theory and action. There will also be 90-minute synchronous live group check-ins via Zoom with course facilitators, occurring every other week through the duration of the course. It is highly recommended to be at these sessions live, if you can make it; we provide recordings as well.

How is Daniel Goleman involved in this course?

This is the only emotional intelligence (EI) training program affiliated with Daniel Goleman, created in direct collaboration with him, and founded on the concepts and practices of his model that are critical to developing EI. While the course is not taught or facilitated by Dr. Goleman, the asynchronous weekly module content (video, audio, reading etc.) 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.

What if I have a different question not featured here?

We are here for you. Please email or call us at (413) 587-0818 with any questions, suggestions or feedback. We look forward to hearing from you.

I’d like to sign my team up. Do you offer a group rate discount?

Yes! We’re happy to offer a group rate discount for five or more registrations. Please contact us at courses@danielgolemanemotionalintelligence.com for more info.

Are there flexible payment options available?

We want to support everyone who wants to invest in growing their emotional intelligence. If you would like to explore flexible payment options, please contact us for details.

What’s the time commitment per day?

To optimize for meaningful learning, reflection, and application, every week’s competency is divided into five or six days—with specific steps outlined for each day. You can expect to spend 15-30 minutes per day to go through the daily content and get familiar with the exercise/activity outlined, complete the exercise/activity and share your reflection.

Often the activity will include noticing different aspects of your experience over the course of a day. We recommend planning to review the content in the morning, complete the activity during the day and leave your reflection at the end of the day. Be sure to plan time to read and respond to the reflections from your fellow cohort members as well!
