What you'll learn

Being your own boss and working from home in your pajamas sounds great. There is no one else around. No one to tell you what to do or how to do it! You are on your own. It’s great! But, on the other hand, there is no one else around. No one to tell you what to do or how to do it. You are on your own—It’s horrible! In this course, The Contractor's Guide to Emotional Intelligence, we will explore how emotional intelligence is key to the success of a contractor’s professional life. First, you will learn how to identify your own emotions and create boundaries between work and life. Next, you will discover how to practice self-management techniques and manage an isolating work environment. Finally, you will practice social awareness and actively listen to others. When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills needed to manage relationships by engaging in strategic and consistent communication.
