Introduction

Emotional and social intelligence (EI and SI) are critical competencies in today’s professional world, where leadership, collaboration, and individual effectiveness increasingly rely on interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. This course, the Executive Mini Master in Applied Emotional and Social Intelligence, delves into these essential skills, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to navigate complex social and emotional landscapes in the workplace. By understanding and applying emotional and social intelligence, leaders and professionals can foster stronger relationships, enhance team dynamics, and improve overall performance.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and influence emotions—both our own and those of others. Social Intelligence (SI), on the other hand, extends this understanding to the realm of social interactions, requiring awareness of social dynamics and the ability to build and maintain relationships. Together, EI and SI empower individuals to make better decisions, communicate more effectively, and lead with empathy and clarity.

This Executive Mini Master is designed for professionals who want to master emotional and social intelligence in practical, applied settings. By enhancing emotional and social acumen, participants will be prepared to lead with greater empathy, resilience, and communication skills, ensuring they are well-equipped to thrive in high-pressure, collaborative environments. Whether managing teams or engaging with clients, these skills are key to sustaining success and creating a positive organizational culture.

The course adopts a structured approach, offering core modules that cover fundamental EI and SI concepts as well as practical tools for application. Participants will engage in interactive learning experiences and develop strategies to integrate EI and SI into their leadership styles. Additionally, the course includes a thesis component, offering participants the opportunity to explore a relevant topic in depth and demonstrate their understanding of course principles.

Through real-world scenarios and case studies, participants will learn to apply these skills to a range of professional contexts, making the learning highly relevant and impactful. Upon completion, participants will not only have a thorough understanding of emotional and social intelligence, but will also be equipped with actionable strategies that can be immediately implemented in their roles.

The 30-day course, combined with five days to prepare a final thesis, is a comprehensive learning journey that ensures participants develop mastery over the practical application of emotional and social intelligence. The final thesis, comprising 15,000 to 20,000 words, will challenge participants to critically assess their understanding of the course content and its relevance to their professional practice.
