This course examines emotional intelligence (EI), which basically is the ability to make your emotions work for you by using them in ways that produce the results you want. The good news is that, unlike IQ and other traditional measures of intelligence, EI can be developed and dramatically increased. Recent research has shown that “emotional smarts” can be twice as important as IQ and technical skills combined for work success! Emotional smarts are not "touch-freely" but have been validated with scientific research and provide measurable results. The focus in this course will be on the core competencies of emotional intelligence, real life examples, self-assessment and practical exercises that increase various dimensions of emotional intelligence. (To allay any potential anxiety, participants will not have to disclose life secrets or “demonstrate” emotions in this course).

Tour one of the world’s most advanced rehabilitation research and development centre - KITE at Toronto Rehab - a place where new treatments and technologies have been developed for people recovering from and living with disabling injury or illness. You will have opportunities to visit the Challenging Environment Assessment Laboratory, the only facility of its kind in the world. This massive underground lab features the world’s first hydraulic motion simulator. This simulator can be integrated with four customizable testing environments that enable researchers to recreate and evaluate conditions such as ice and snow, different terrains and slopes, and driving conditions involving rain and headlight glare. The tour also includes laboratories that simulate both healthcare (e.g., a patient’s room) and home environments. Together, these world-class facilities allow researchers to safely and accurately measure the difficulties encountered in the real world. The labs are also used to evaluate the impact of new treatments, devices and technologies developed at KITE, Toronto Rehab - University Health Network.
