Emotional intelligence is a phrase we commonly use but do we really understand it enough to apply and get the most out of it on ourselves and others? In this episode, best-selling author Christopher Connors joins us to talk about practical and thoughtful stuff that can lead to becoming emotionally intelligent. He wrote the books Emotional Intelligence for the Modern Leader and The Value of You. We discuss what emotional intelligence is and if it can be learned; skills that leaders need to master to have thriving teams and great relationships with our family, clients and team; practices to engage yourself in self-awareness and self-regulation; and a lot more in between.
