What is Emotional Intelligence? Emotional Intelligence (EI) (also known as Emotional Quotient (EQ)) is the innately human ability to perceive, name, and assess emotions both in themselves and in others, allowing for smarter decisions and more purposeful actions. Now, let’s be honest, most of us don’t always tap into that ability; yet it has the potential to reveal the path to a happier life and a more authentic YOU! EI outlines the skills needed to manage one’s emotions, opening up an enormous amount of possibilities.

EI focuses on emotions and a “way of being”. All of us experience emotion in varying intensity and frequency, depending on certain stimuli. Being aware of your emotion, and naming the feelings and thoughts you are experiencing during a situation or experience, allows you to redirect your energies toward a purposeful response or action. YES! YOU already have the power to live a happier, more peaceful life.
