Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence has been attributed as the skill most associated with both personal and professional success. Yet, how often do we think about our emotional intelligence and the impact it has on our lives? How often do we practice emotional intelligent skills? Emotional intelligence is often mistaken for how friendly a person can be with others; however emotional intelligence is much more complex than that. Emotional intelligence is actually the ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others. It is also the ability to be able to respond in the most productive manner for our highest good as well as the benefit of the other person or people involved. Emotional intelligence focuses on both self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, and relationship management.
