Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence is a term created by two researchers -Peter Salavoy and John Mayer – although made popular by Daniel Goleman in the nineties

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to:

• Recognize, understand and manage our own emotions
• Recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others

Daniel Goleman’s groundbreaking book on Emotional Intelligence was heralded by a Time magazine cover that read: “What’s Your EQ? It’s not your IQ.  Emotional intelligence may be the best predictor of success in life, redefining what it means to be smart.”

Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioural research, Goleman explored the factors around why some people with modest IQ’s do surprisingly well compared to many people with higher IQ’s. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a different way of being smart–and they aren’t fixed at birth. Although shaped by childhood experience, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout adulthood–with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work. Our Master Class explores how emotional intelligence can impact our success in work and in life and how we can use the findings to be more effective communicators in the workplace.
