Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves. -Leo Tolstoy
Social and Emotional Intelligence is a form of intelligence that drives our success in work, in life, and in our relationships with others. While the concept of social and emotional intelligence has been popular, many are still somewhat unsure of exactly what it is and how it can add to their success.
Social and emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to be aware of our own emotions and those of others, in the moment, and to use that information to manage ourselves and manage our relationships.
Social and Emotional Intelligence (SEI or sometimes referred to as EI or EQ) encompasses many skill sets, including stress management, resilience, managing conflict, influencing skills, catalyzing change, teamwork and collaboration, building trust (the assessment measures 26 skills/competencies).
SEI can be learned and strengthened throughout our lives, SEI measures behavior not personality traits. It’s never too late to shift behavior and learn the essential tools to accomplish our goals and career strategy.
