Emotional intelligence is a term being thrown around a lot lately, especially in the corporate space, but what if you could apply it to your personal life?

Having the self-awareness to know what triggers your emotions can be transformative for your personal relationships.

In this episode of Live Life Rich, Marissa welcomes pastor and coach John Mazano to the show to share practical strategies you can use to address problem areas in your relationships.

John’s nuggets of wisdom from his life and 56-year-long marriage will leave you with food for thought for days.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why John believes his marriage has lasted for 56 years
• The definition of emotional intelligence and the importance of identifying and managing your emotions
• How knowing how to read yourself improves your relationships with the people around you
• Why John developed his EQ+ course, the self-awareness he hopes people will take away from it, and how our body language or tone of voice can contradict our words
• Continuous partial attention (CPA) and how it affects others’ perceptions of us
• How to address problem areas in your relationship without making each other defensive
• Some practical strategies to help you communicate better with those you love
• The reason most people don’t want the truth about themselves
