What is EQ?
Responding > Reacting.
Emotional Intelligence > Being Emotional.
Empathy > Apathy.
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to be cognizant of our feelings so we can develop profound relationships with ourselves and others. Emotions play a critical role in the overall quality of our personal and professional lives. The Harvard Business Review called Emotional Intelligence “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea” because of the power vested in you when you are in control of your emotional state. Today, where change is the only constant, emotional intelligence is essential for humanity to absorb and adopt.
