  • Work at your own pace, with no deadlines; finish with a final assessment

About the course

A synthesis of knowledge, experience and expertise gathered over 20 years in practical psychology and coaching senior executives in Russian and international companies. Emotional intelligence forms the foundation of effectiveness: you will understand and experience it, identify areas for growth and gain tools for individual work. Each lesson combines theory, video excerpts of psychological work, case discussions and practical assignments to embed learning through experience rather than leave it as theory.

  • learn to set goals, make decisions and manage time
  • improve communication, public speaking and relationship-building
  • explore motivation, leadership and change management

  • identify personal development areas and tools for working on them

What is included

182 screens across 12 lessons. Each includes theory, my video explanations, examples from practice and practical exercises for self-reflection. The course ends with a final assessment. Work through it independently at your own pace.
