The brain’s emotional centres are involved in everything we think and do and are enormously important in our work. For many Finance Professionals, “emotion” is not part of their usual training and work experience. This can be a career impediment and even make the transition to a leadership position difficult. This course will focus on how EI relates to the work of Finance Professionals.
