What is Emotional Intelligence (EQ)?

Popularized by Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognize our own feelings and those of others, to motivate ourselves, and to manage emotions well within ourselves and in our relationships.

Unlike IQ (Intelligence Quotient), which is relatively static, EQ can be developed throughout life. Having a high IQ can get you into college, but it's a high EQ that will keep you in the job and ensure healthy relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is emotional intelligence about 'being nice'?

No. Emotional intelligence is about being assertive. Sometimes, it means giving tough feedback constructively or saying a firm but respectful 'no'.

How can I improve my emotional intelligence daily?

The practice of pausing is the simplest and most powerful. Between the stimulus (what happened) and the response (what you do), there is a space. It is in this space that your emotional freedom lives.
