Career

Emotions have gotten a bad rap in the workplace. As a society, we are conditioned to believe they are less legitimate than thoughts and logic. Despite this common belief, human beings are first and foremost emotional creatures. We are motivated and activated by emotions. Our habits, attitudes, decision-making, and interactions are all influenced and forcefully guided by our emotions. 

So, the key to success at any job, is to learn how to understand and manage your emotions allowing you to improve your work and help others regulate their own emotional state.

Your emotional intelligence, also called EQ, is your ability to be aware of and effectively manage emotions and relationships. It’s a pivotal factor to your professional and personal success. IQ will get you in the door, but it’s your EQ – your ability to interact effectively while managing your emotions and others’ emotions – that will determine your success in your professional and personal life. What’s more, people with high emotional intelligence tend to go through life happier and don’t get easily angered or upset.
