On The Record About EQ
"If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your emotions, if you can't have empathy and effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you aren't going to get very far."
~ DANIEL GOLEMAN

IQ vs. EQ
In any given profession, the preponderance of the workforce is likely to be fairly well-matched along the lines of intellect and cognitive functioning -- IQ. But a vast field of data over decades of research tells us that the same workforce is composed of people occupying the entire range of emotional intelligence -- EQ -- that drives the interpersonal skills necessary to navigate complex relationships, motivate oneself and others and communicate calmly and professionally.
IQ rarely varies over one's lifetime. EQ can greatly be enhanced through the neuroscience of Social Emotional Learning.
Social Emotional Intelligence
Workplace environments that prioritize Social Emotential Intelligence (SEI) tend to be more positive, productive and engaging. SEI is critical for interpersonal communications, identifying potential leaders at every level of your organization, and winning the never-ending battle to retain your high-quality employees.

On The Record About EQ
"First, our emotional state determines where we direct our attention, what we remember, and what we learn. Second is decision making: when we’re in the grip of any strong emotion—such as anger or sadness, but also elation or joy—we perceive the world differently, and the choices we make at that moment are influenced."
