Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
FIVE KEY SKILLS FOR RAISING
YOUR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a different
type of intelligence. It’s about being “heart smart,” not just “book smart.”
The evidence shows that emotional intelligence matters just as much as
intellectual ability, if not more so, when it comes to happiness and success in
life. Emotional intelligence helps you build strong relationships, succeed at
work, and achieve your goals.
The skills of emotional intelligence can be
developed throughout life. You can boost your own “EQ” by learning how to
rapidly reduce stress, connect to your emotions, communicate nonverbally, use
humor and play to deal with challenges, and defuse conflicts with confidence
and self-assurance.
