Emotional Intelligence Workshops and Coaching

Emotional Intelligence

The scientific definition of emotional intelligence comes from Drs. John Mayer, Peter Salovey, and David Caruso:

"Emotional intelligence refers to an ability to recognize the meanings of emotion and their relationships, and to reason and problem-solve on the basis of them. Emotional intelligence is involved in the capacity to perceive emotions, assimilate emotion-related feelings, understand the information of those emotions, and manage them."

Emotional Intelligence is a set of competencies that allow people to apply thinking and feeling to make optimal decisions. Harvard Business Review says emotional intelligence is "the key to professional success."

Why Emotional Intelligence?

"If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far." ~ Daniel Goleman
