It is an exciting time after arriving back in San Francisco, for the eighth time in a row.
Right now, I´m preparing for my first talk about “Communicating with Emotional Intelligence (EQ/EI)” for getting better results with people. I first came across EQ in 1998 when I naively read the groundbreaking book of Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence. Little did I know the importance and impact of this book, not only on me but also on the world. Since then, this phrase “emotional intelligence” has become almost a cliché but that doesn´t change the power of EQ!
People drive performance, emotions drive people, temperament drives emotions. The problem is, most people do not understand their own and other people´s core emotions. Communication is a basic necessity of human beings and as human beings, we are all a bundle of emotions, positive and negative. So understanding the styles of those you work with and those you socialize with will help you be more successful.
As for me, in my talk, I hope to create a professional yet personal atmosphere. I express my gratitude for this wonderful chance.
And I hope for you to take action now – you can lift your EQ, it´s definitely worth it!
