Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to identify, use, and manage emotions for positive engagement, encompassing self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, motivation, and social skills. High EQ individuals excel in self-awareness and relationship management, leading to better personal and professional success compared to those with high intellectual intelligence (IQ). Importantly, EQ can be developed at any age through skills like stress reduction, emotional awareness, effective communication, humor, and conflict resolution.

2. Emotional intelligence is the ability to
identify, use, understand and manage your
emotions in positive and constructive
ways. It's about recognizing your own
emotional state and the emotional states of
others. Emotional intelligence is also
about engaging with others in ways that
draw people to you.

Self Regulation
Self Motivation
Empathy
Social Skills

5. People with high emotional intelligence are
usually very self-aware. They understand their
emotions and because of this, they don't let
their feelings rule them. They're confident –
because they trust their intuition and don't let
their emotions get out of control.
They're also willing to take an honest look
at themselves. They know their strengths and
weaknesses, and they work on these areas so
they can perform better. Many people believe
that this self-awareness is the most important
part of emotional intelligence.

6. This is the ability to
control emotions and
impulses. People who
self-regulate typically
don't allow themselves to
become too angry or
jealous and they don't
make impulsive, careless
decisions. They think
before they act.

7. People with a high degree of emotional
intelligence are usually motivated. They're
willing to defer immediate results for long-
term success. They're highly productive,
love a challenge, and are very effective in
whatever they do.
Self-motivated individuals are a treat
to work with and manage. Because
they're typically rewarded less by
outside stimuli -- recognition,
bonuses, promotions -- and more by
their own goals and interests, they can
handle disappointment and negative
outcomes.

8. Empathy is the ability to
identify and understand the
wants, needs and viewpoints of
those around you. People with
empathy are good at
recognizing the feelings of
others, even when those feelings
may not be obvious. As a result,
empathetic people are usually
excellent at managing
relationships, listening and
relating to others. They avoid
stereotyping and judging too
quickly, and they live their lives
in a very open, honest way.

9. It's usually easy to talk to and
like people with good social
skills, another sign of high
emotional intelligence. Those
with strong social skills are
typically team players. Rather
than focus on their own
success first, they help others
develop and shine. They can
manage disputes, are excellent
communicators and are
masters at building and
maintaining relationships.

10. Intellectual intelligence
(IQ) is usually less
important in determining
how successful we are
than emotional
intelligence (EQ). We all
know people who are
academically brilliant
and are yet socially
incompetent and
unsuccessful. What they
are missing is emotional
intelligence.

11. Intelligence Quotient Emotional Quotient
Measure of cognitive abilities e.g. the
ability to learn/understand/deal with
new situations, logic and analytical
skills
Measure of our ability to use both our
emotions and cognitive skills in our
life
IQ includes Reasoning skills and the
ability to apply knowledge to one’s
current situation.
EQ includes creativity, stress
management, leadership and similar
skills
Is established at birth and fixed after a
certain age and can not be developed
nor increased after then
EQ can be learned, developed and
improved at any age, in fact, our
ability to learn emotional intelligence
increases as we get older
It is a threshold capability that can
only show you the road to your career
and gets you working in a certain field.
EQ makes you walk through that
road and gets you promoted in that
field.
High IQ makes you successful in
academics
High EQ makes you successful in
LIFE!

12. 90% of the success of outstanding leaders is attributable
to emotional intelligence (EQ), which is twice as
important than intellectual intelligence (IQ).

14. Emotional intelligence can be developed through the
following key skills
 Ability to quickly reduce stress.
 Ability to recognize and manage your emotions.
 Ability to connect with others using nonverbal
communication.
 Ability to use humor and play to deal with
challenges.
 Ability to resolve conflicts positively and with
confidence.

15. When we’re under high
levels of stress, rational
thinking and decision
making go out the window.
The first key skill of
emotional intelligence is the
ability to quickly calm
yourself down when you’re
feeling overwhelmed. This
emotional intelligence skill
helps you stay balanced,
focused, and in control–no
matter what challenges you
face.

16. The second key skill of
emotional intelligence is
having a moment-to-
moment awareness of
your emotions and how
they influence your
thoughts and actions.
Emotional awareness is
the key to understand
yourself and others.

17. To be a good communicator, it
requires more than just verbal
skills. Often, what we say is
less important than how we
say it or the other nonverbal
signals we send out. In order
to hold the attention of others
and build connection and
trust, we need to be aware of
and in control of our
nonverbal cues. We also need
to be able to accurately read
and respond to the nonverbal
cues that other people send
us.

18. Humor, laughter and
play are natural antidotes
to life’s difficulties. They
lighten our burdens and
help us keep things in
perspective. A good
hearty laugh reduces
stress, elevates mood,
and brings our nervous
system back into
balance.

19. The ability to manage conflicts in a
positive, trust-building way is the
fifth key skill of emotional
intelligence. Successfully resolving
differences is supported by the
previous four skills of emotional
intelligence. Once you know how
to manage stress, recognize and
manage your emotions,
communicate nonverbally and use
humor and play, you’ll be better
equipped to handle emotionally-
charged situations and catch and
defuse many issues before they
escalate.
