Richard Lofthouse – Practical Emotional Intelligence Skills

Forty–three–year–old Richard Lofthouse lives in Thornaby on Tees. After working as an engineer in Oxford, Richard moved back to Teesside for the birth of his first son and is now working as a manufacturer.

Richard came across vision2learn’s Practical Emotional Intelligence Skills course whilst searching the Internet for training that could help improve his performance at work. He explains:

"I was searching the ‘net looking for some form of ‘people’ education that I could use at work with a group of my managers. The plan was to help develop their interaction and motivating skills."

After reading some information about the course Richard was hooked, he told us:

"I am intrigued about why people act the way they do. I’m also very keen to gain skills that help me interact to my full potential and hopefully get the most from my staff; this course looked like it would allow me to do just that."
"After completing the course I had a greater understanding of my colleagues’ actions and reactions and could help them to improve their performance, as well as my own."

Richard’s main advice to anyone thinking of completing a vision2learn course is to set yourself a strict deadline to prevent you from falling behind.

If he came across any problems during the course, Richard’s online tutor was always on–hand to offer assistance or advice and this really helped him get the most from this experience.

Richard has caught the learning bug and has even recommended vision2learn to family, colleagues and friends!
