EQ for High Performance Certification for Financial Consultants
Programme Code: P210914GVY

People trained in EQ will be able to accept challenges and adapt to new situations quickly. By becoming emotionally resilient, they will be able to recover from setbacks and handle any situation without coming apart or having it negatively affect other customer interactions.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive emotions in ourselves and others. It is the ability to use the appropriate emotion to create the best outcomes and to understand how emotional reactions create different outcomes. 

By teaching people techniques to manage their emotions and think resourcefully, we will help them adapt to adversities and significant stressors faced in the course of their day. EQ will allow them to bounce back from difficult experiences and move them into solution mode.

Being trained in EQ does not mean that a person will not experience difficulties or stress, but rather they will learn the behaviors, thoughts and actions that will allow them to confidently deal with the difficulties with others.

This certification is an exciting programme that is both practical & experientially based. It is meant for the Financial Consultant to grow mentally and emotionally as they progress in their work. The program will facilitate and help them to have a clear perspective of their behaviors as well as learn strategies to achieve and maintain their highest level of performance.
