"Coming into this course, I felt like I knew a lot about emotional intelligence, but I think what I really knew about was social awareness. This course has helped me differentiate between those four areas of emotional intelligence and improve in the ones I was not as competent in because of that new understanding. While I do feel that a lot of this comes naturally, having the language to talk about empathy vs. perspective taking and self-awareness vs. self-management, etc. is really helpful moving forward in articulating these concepts and focusing in on the areas I want to improve in. I am thankful to NeoGenomics for sponsoring this course." - Student, Spring 2022.
