Course overview

This Emotional Intelligence in Pharma and Biopharma Training Course is designed to help participants develop self awareness and improve their own communication skills.

In today’s competitive and challenging workplace, we are not only being assessed on our technical skills, but also on how well we understand and handle ourselves and relate to others – our emotional intelligence. 

This one-day training course addresses our own Emotional Intelligence (EI) and how we can better understand ourselves and interpret others to communicate and influence even more effectively in the Pharmaceutical and Biopharma Industry. This course will provide you with the skills to be more self-aware and choose to manage your reactions. It also gives you the skills to assess others' emotions more effectively and deal with them successfully for enhanced performance.

Emotional Intelligence is essential for all the relationships we have – whether with internal colleagues, external bodies such as with obtaining scientific advice, or suppliers – to be maximally effective.

This practical and interactive emotional intelligence training will increase your self-awareness and develop your interpersonal skills so you come across with a positive impact and influence whatever the situation.

You will learn how to build a better rapport with individuals, read and interpret their emotions and handle situations more effectively in the workplace.

The course is a highly interactive combination of theory, activities, exercises, and practical applications working on your real-life scenarios so you can develop your learnings for your benefit.
