Emotional Intelligence 

What is Emotional Intelligence?

Every day, we face a variety of challenges in the workplace, such as meeting deadlines, making decisions and completing tasks under pressure. Many employees are under-performing due to problems caused by a lack of self-confidence, poor communication, interpersonal conflicts, demotivation and anxiety.


This is where emotional intelligence can really make a difference.

 

Emotional Intelligence refers to a specific form of intelligence which is centred around using emotional information in a meaningful way. This includes the way we understand and communicate our own emotions, how we perceive the emotions of others and how we make decisions. It’s not about suppressing our emotions but instead working with them in an intelligent way to help us navigate everyday life.
