Happiness and Well-Being: Part 2 EMEA


Examine the emotional component of happiness and well-being, while learning strategies to improve your own happiness.

About This Course

Examine the emotional component of happiness and well-being and learn about the six general research-based categories of happiness strategies. In this course, you will determine which strategies best fit your values, interests and needs to actually improve your own happiness. Next, you will assess and reflect on your emotional intelligence by completing an actual emotional intelligence self-assessment to determine a baseline level from which you can grow, since developing this type of “intelligence” can improve your self-awareness, self-confidence, self-esteem, empathy, optimism, leadership capabilities and relationships.

This course will take you approximately 5 hours to complete.

Learners who complete this course will earn a digital certificate of completion.
