When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion. -Dale CarnegieAt a young age, most people begin to realize how "smart" they are in relation to their peers, friends, & family members. However, most objective measures of intelligence focus on standardized test scores, grades, or Intelligence Quotient (IQ). This is an important measure to determine admission into certain charter schools, advanced classes, and ultimately universities. However, IQ and admission to special programs/universities don't always determine long-term success. A lesser discussed, but equally important measure is a person's Emotional Quotient (EQ) or Emotional Intelligence. According to Healthline.com :Your emotional quotient (EQ) generally refers to your ability to sense emotion in yourself and in other people. It also refers to how you use that awareness to guide your behavior. In general, if you have a high EQ, you may find it easier to:identify emotions in yourself and othersempathize with other peopleadapt your feelings and behavior to different situationscontrol your impulseswithstand temptations and delay gratificationresolve conflicts with otherscommunicate effectivelyIn Episode 126, we discuss our perspectives on EQ and how important it can be in our personal and professional lives. LISTEN HEREBooks Discussed:The Happiness Equation -- Neil ParischaHow to Master Your Emotions--Luke HamiltonThe Infinite Game--Simon SinekDavid vs Goliath--Malcolm GladwellConnect with us! Did you like this topic? Leave a comment, sign up to receive our newsletter and latest episodes! Is there something you would like us to do a show on or an interview you want to hear? Join us at the Future Focus Health Network ---WFO LIFE PODCAST TRIBESupport the show
