"IQ may get your foot in the door,
EQ will determine how far you go"
Emotional Intelligence
Research shows us that a well-balanced set of emotional and social skills are critical for success today.
Acknowledgement of the prospect that we may need to develop greater emotional competence is a bitter pill to swallow for most of us. However, nurturing a stronger set of emotional and social practices will greatly benefit you in leading successfully and living more confidently in general.
​
Where knowledge and technical skill are essential entry level requirements for leadership positions, it is one’s ability to be emotionally competent and socially skilled that leads to real success.
What is Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence is a measure to reflect a person's emotional and social acuity, highlighting how well someone perceives and expresses themselves, how comfortable they are in developing and maintaining social relationships, how effectively they cope with challenges and stressful situations, and how skilfully they use emotional information to make decisions.
Emotional Intelligence is our ability to understand our value and pursuing success with a positive mind, our ability to understand others and willingly help that sets us apart in the world. It is our ability to stand our ground respectfully and surround ourselves with a network of people where strong bonds connect us that enable us to achieve highly in life. It is our capacity to deal with stress and make considered and thought-through decisions in the face of high emotion, that will propel us to positions where we will be trusted and respected. This ties in with having a Powerful Personal and Leadership Presence. A lot comes down to how balanced one's emotional and social skills are. And this can be developed!
