What is Emotional Intelligence and Why is it Important?

Simply put, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is defined as an individual’s capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions while managing interpersonal relationships empathetically. EQ is similar to IQ (Intelligence Quotient) but the focus is on one’s emotions and how they interact within relationships.

A high level of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) can lead us on a path to a more fulfilled and happy life. These benefits can be applied to both your personal and professional life! Attending our Basic course will help to increase your EQ in multiple ways including:
