What EI Learners Say About Our Courses
The whole course as a package was of very high value for me. As I was already familiar with many bits of the knowledge about EI, understanding all of them in a systematic way, looking at the skills as a package of interrelated capacities made me more aware of what I was doing on a superficial level in the past (and why the results were moderate). My understanding now is deeper.
I lead a busy life. I spend a lot of time ‘doing.’ This course has given me the space to reflect on ‘being’ and how I want to live in the world. I have also been given great practices which calm the mind and help me be sure that when I show up, all of me is showing up.
Absolutely recommend both foundational and relational skills competency online course. Also Becoming a certified coach through DGEIC model, changed not only my coaching practice but also my working and personal relationships as well.
It’s been a wonderful learning and personal growth experience, both challenging and exciting! I don’t know if I’ve become a better coach… surely, I’m more aware about myself.
Highly recommended…the content exercises and prompts to reflect help to bring knowledge to real life from the very first start, and it is ideal to complement with coaching. My clients increased their skills beyond expectation while enjoying doing the course.
It has given me new tools to use and has helped me learn about how I function (or not), how I get hijacked, my triggers — all at a level far beyond any other course I’ve taken.
This course gave me the opportunity to learn, practice and systematize my knowledge about EI—and most of all the “felt sense” of it. Whether doing personal practical exercises, reflecting on my experience or sharing with the cohort during live sessions, it all strengthens my EI muscle and personal conviction that it’s a powerful and fulfilling way to work and live.
The Goleman online curriculum is content rich and deeply informative, yet easy to digest. I’ve found what I needed to not only facilitate my personal growth, but also apply these foundational humanistic insights to developing strategic frameworks that have helped our clients find much greater success in their implementations. I emerged from the program a more empathic and resilient being—and I genuinely wish that more people in mainstream roles could have exposure to this material. It will help tremendously with cultivating maturity in thought, values, and leadership.
Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence Course transformed me and my relationship with people around me. Just as I completed the entire course we, as the entire world, went into the lockdown due to the unprecedented Coronavirus epidemic. My family and I will remember that time as an opportunity given to us to connect, reflect and grow together more than ever. Having the training helped me meet the better version of myself and built my awareness of how I could help others to thrive.
Today, as a career coach, I can be there, understand and support others thanks to Daniel Goleman and his entire team who made this course possible. If you take this course you will not only grow on your own but be amazed to witness your impact on the community around you. You will learn that from happiness to longevity, mindfulness to focus, empathy to relationship skills, stress management to leadership, everything is connected with EI. Thank you Daniel Goleman and everyone behind this course, this was the best investment I have ever done for myself.
The Daniel Goleman EI Course came at the perfect time for me. I was navigating a career change after 20 years with the same company. The self-awareness activities made me realize that even though I was excited to be starting my dream job, all endings come with loss and challenging emotions. I was getting in my own way and not making a very smooth transition. Through the coursework and resources, I worked through the emotions I was experiencing and realigned myself to my core values.
I am happy to say I have embraced my new career and am finding much more success! Without the insights this course gave me, I may not have been able to get out of my own way and may have unconsciously self-sabotaged my incredible career opportunity. I am confident now that I am right where I belong!
