Emotional intelligence, or EQ, goes beyond traditional measures of success like IQ, education, or experience. It's the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions and to recognize, understand, and influence (without trying to control) the emotions of those around us. It's the secret ingredient that can make the difference between good and great performance in all areas of life. At its heart, emotional intelligence is about awareness โof ourselves and others.
Think about a time when you were in a heated discussion. Did you find yourself reacting instantly, perhaps saying things you later regretted? Or were you able to pause, take a breath, and respond thoughtfully? The difference between these two scenarios often comes down to emotional intelligence.
The good news is that you can develop emotional intelligence. It's not a fixed trait but a set of skills that can be learned and improved over time. Keep an eye out for an upcoming post about cultivating emotional intelligence!

#Empathy looks like active listening, staying interested, being emotionally present, asking good questions, reflecting feelings, and being a faithful friend.
Donโt expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You wonโt be. Donโt count on motivation. Count on Discipline. - @jockowillink
Faith Family,
Can you blow up my post to help our Orphanage get sponsorships? Our 28 kids each need support for food, clothes, & education.
We know Minority led orgs receive less than 5% of ALL funding so we need a BIG push!!
Every $ & Repost counts!
