Social intelligence is fundamental to the ability to influence others, get work done, and succeed as a transformational leader and coach. It is essential to understanding:

• Inventory the many varieties of influence and personal power you employ.
• Analyze self-imposed blocks that prevent you from realizing your full power.
• Identify personal power styles.
• Influence and motivate others through a variety of tools and methods.

You will receive an overview of developmental and existential philosophy to help you understand the power of orienting to principles in any situation, including the power of being your most authentic, truthful self.

Purpose is an essential element of work that informs every aspect of coaching, leadership and vocational success. Through this certificate, you will identify an initial life purpose statement and discover ways in which having a clearer sense of mission brings deeper meaning and greater performance to all careers.
