How to raise and leverage your EQ for success

Yes! EQ is powerful! Studies have shown that EQ accounts for 80% of your overall success in life (with only 20% being attributed to IQ). The equation may actually be: EQ plus IQ equals SQ (Success Quotient). A working definition: The ability to know what feels good, what feels bad, and how to get from bad to good in a way that results in positive outcomes.

Raising your EQ by design requires an understanding of the difference between emotions and feelings and their correlation with emotional intelligence. This presentation combines information from two seminars:  Manage Your Emotions and Raise Your Emotional Intelligence. It explores core emotions, describes the Emotions Staircase, outlines characteristics of high versus low EQ, explains a correlation between EQ and success, and provides strategies on how to raise your EQ. There is good news. Since EQ is learned, you can develop and/or raise yours!
