Definition

Emotional Intelligence:

Emotional Intelligence, quite simply, is the ability to make healthy adaptive choices based on our ability to identify,
understand and manage our own emotions and the emotions of others.

IThe dimension of intelligence responsible for our ability to manage ourselves and our relationships with others

Emotional Intelligence explains why, despite equal intellectual capacity, training, competency, or experience, some
people excel in life while others with comparable knowledge or skills (or even superior intellectual capacity) fail or flounder.

The skills that are part of Emotional Intelligence are no longer considered "soft skills" but have been successfully measured
and quantified with more than 25 years of research to support these findings.

The skills related to Emotional Intelligence can be learned at any age or stage of human development.

Emotional Intelligence skills contribute to personal and professional success just as much as knowledge and competency.
