While IQ might get you hired, EQ or a high emotional quotient will get you promoted!! 
While grit is one critical ingredient for life success, emotional intelligence is another integral component to academic, work, personal and social success, beyond IQ, GPA and SAT scores combined. Emotional Intelligence (EI), which involves both personal and social competencies, shows us how important self-awareness, empathy, relationship management, motivation and social skills are towards achieving those goals.  This episode will not only share a brief history of EI and define it, but it will contextualize EI in the brain and will give you more than a dozen practical ways to expand your EI competencies. So sit back, relax and plan for your future success!
