We talk about one of our favorite shows to watch, The Bachelorette. An episode where emotional intelligence was mentioned during a feud between two hopefuls vying for the hand of the bachelorette, Tayshia Adams. The men briefly discuss emotional intelligence during their tiff and how one asserting that the other was deficient in the fundamentals of EI. We talk about each of the men and their attitudes. Do we think it was a fair representation of the topic? Did they show strong Relationship Management and Social Awareness skills? Was it a good representation of EI?
