Today we'll be discussing Emotional Intelligence, or EQ. Can anyone tell me what they think EQ means?
Isn't it about how we handle our emotions?
Absolutely! EQ involves understanding and managing your own emotions and recognizing those in others. Remember the acronym S.M.A.R.T? Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Motivation, Empathy, and Social Skills.
