Importance of Having Emotional Intelligence

Have you ever had a hard time communicating with people in a small conversation or networking event, or have you ever wondered why some people are getting along with everyone? 

Have you ever wondered why some people are more successful than others? What is so special about them in the way they behave and interact with, which drives them to greater success than others?

Although IQ is used generally to define the fate of a business, research shows that the real world is working on something completely different, which distinguishes successful leaders from the average.

Our emotions play a major role in thinking, decision-making, and personal success. Self-confidence, impulse control, patience, motivation, empathy and social skills are the qualities that define great people. Their relationships are flourishing and they are super stars in their business.

Emotional intelligence is a learned ability to perceive, understand and express our feelings accurately, to control our emotions so that they work for us, not against us.

It is about knowing how you and others feel and what to do about it.

It's about knowing what feels good and what feels bad and how to get from bad to good.

It is about possessing emotional awareness, sensitivity and skills that will help you stay positive.

This is why having emotional intelligence is so important. To succeed in business, you need more than a high IQ. What does that mean? Acquired intelligence, for example, a business degree, specialized knowledge, determination and all of those wonderful things. There's more to success than academic or specialized knowledge.

Aristotle, the philosopher, spoke about a rare ability to be angry with the right person to the right degree at the right time for the right purpose and in the right way.

Sounds complex, but you know what?

He had a point.

So much has changed over the years and the rules of the success game are forever changing and continue to change.

And it's not just about technology.

There's a secret code that drives success and one you hardly ever hear talked about.

Let me give you some numbers that may shock you.

According to research, words that you speak only count for seven percent of your success was 55 percent in body language, 38 percent tonality.

Today, most people are looking to build their intellectual skills by taking courses, and they're frustrated when it still doesn't work.

They still don't see the success they desire.

Let me give you my own personal story.

About 10 years ago, I was exactly doing the same.

I wanted to build a successful career, working long hours to prove I was dedicated, yet I was not getting anywhere.

Then I encountered this secret code and it completely, totally transformed my career.

I'm still the same person with the same skills, doing the same job.

Yet I was seeing success.

Friends and colleagues were questioning what was going on.

Reviews for Emotional Intelligence

[Garrick · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was amazing. I've been trying to get my emotional intelligence up over the last year or so and this book showed me all the tricks of the trade. Not only does it make me understand emotions better, but it also helps me become more aware of my emotions and how they affect me. I found myself using the strategies I learned in the book all day

I found this book to be very enlightening. It gives you tips on how to get along with people better, handle yourself better, and communicate better. Some of these tips were very basic, but most were new to me and gave me a better understanding of myself and how to live my life.
