Have you ever had a hard time communicating with people in a small conversation or networking event, or have you ever wondered why some people are getting along with everyone?
Have you ever wondered why some people are more successful than others? What is so special about them in the way they behave and interact with, which drives them to greater success than others?
Although IQ is used generally to define the fate of a business, research shows that the real world is working on something completely different, which distinguishes successful leaders from the average. Our emotions play a major role in thinking, decision-making, and personal success. Self-confidence, impulse control, patience, motivation, empathy and social skills are the qualities that define great people. Their relationships are flourishing and they are super stars in their business.
Emotional intelligence is a learned ability to perceive, understand and express our feelings accurately, to control our emotions so that they work for us, not against us. It is about knowing how you and others feel and what to do about it. It's about knowing what feels good and what feels bad and how to get from bad to good. It is about possessing emotional awareness, sensitivity and skills that will help you stay positive. This is why having emotional intelligence is so important.
