Thinking about thinking and using emotional information in intelligent ways to engage others and make critical decisions.
Emotional intelligence has been identified as a fundamental leadership skill in the 2020's.
Using emotional information appropriately builds relations and supports problem-solving. Decisions are confidently made that are ethical, authentic, and empathetic.
Critical thinking refers to the ability to analyse information objectively and make a reasoned judgement. Good critical thinking involves the evaluation of sources, such as data, facts, observable phenomena, and research findings.
Critical thinking abilities are among the most sought-after skills in almost every industry and workplace.
Often thinking is considered separate from emotions, but good critical thinkers use emotional intelligence to draw reasonable conclusions from a range of information sources determining what is useful and what isn’t.
This course explores the connection between critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence skills. Combining the two makes for a powerful combination.
Although the course is based on scientific research, it does not go into detail around the research. We explore the concepts in a straightforward, pragmatic manner to understand what they mean and how they are applied in the workplace.
This is not an introductory course on emotional intelligence. There are many courses by a range of good instructors that explain some of the fundamental basics of emotional intelligence. This course explores emotional intelligence at a deeper level looking at its application to critical thinking.
Completing the course (including the practical activities) will give you the understanding and capabilities to meet future requirements of leadership as markets and industries evolve over the next few years.
Explore and recognise thinking styles in decision making, the information in emotions, the role of emotions in learning, unconscious bias, thinking distortions, and much, much more.
The course is made up of short, snappy videos, some practical activities requiring some thought and work away from your computer and some challenges quizzes.
All videos are recorded in HD 1080p. All PDFs are Section 508 / ADA Accessibility compliant.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
