Whether you are seeking the elusive key to help you open the door to the next level of your career or you are already doing well as a leader and are ready to do even better, mastering emotional intelligence can be the difference that makes the difference.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to be self-aware of our emotions and to recognize, understand, and manage their influence on us. That is the essence of emotional intelligence reprogramming ourselves to be more proactive instead of emotional and reactive.
When we do not fully understand our options, our unconscious programs will make choices for us. When we are more self-aware, we are better able to self-regulate, because we recognize the emotional impact we have on those around us. The emotionally intelligent leader knows that effective leadership requires us to be more in tune with ourselves and thus more able to interact positively with others
