10% of our success comes from IQ … the rest is all EQ!

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a form of intelligence that drives our success in work and in life as well as our relationships with others. While the concept of emotional intelligence is starting to become more widely understood, many are still somewhat unsure of exactly what it is and how it can add to their success on the job and in their personal lives.

Emotional intelligence is about being aware of ourselves and others, in the moment, and using that awareness to manage ourselves (our behavior, our responses to stressful or challenging situations), and manage our relationships with others.

Emotional Intelligence can transform organizations / Business culture, making it more lively, creative and collaborative. The truth is, the most successful people in work and in life have the ability to manage themselves and manage their relationships with others.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) encompasses many skill sets, including stress management, resilience, managing conflict productively, powerful influencing skills, catalyzing change, teamwork and collaboration, building trust and much more. Unfortunately, we notice it most when it’s lacking. Think of the boss who explodes when a deadline is missed, or the co‐worker whom no one trusts. These people are limited by their lack of EI skills.

The good news? EQ can be learned and strengthened throughout our lives. It’s never too late to add these essential skills to your career strategy. And research indicates the quickest way to enhance your EI skills is through EI coaching. Click here to learn more about Emotional Intelligence.

Communication No Nos with Marvin Brown

Whether it’s giving and receiving compliments, using body language to convey different meanings, or taking criticism well, today’s guest, Marvin Brown, gives us the tips and techniques needed to help everyone (from shy women to sales women) communicate better.

You’ll learn how to:

Never be at a loss for words or subject to talk about — even at a company party

Start conversations with people you really want to meet — in professional or social settings

Extract yourself gracefully from bores, windbags, know-it-alls and negative people you don’t want to talk to

Make memorable first and last impressions with clients, business colleagues and prospective love partners

Marvin Brown began his career in sales as a Financial Planner. While doing so, he participated in what was then the largest mutual fund sale in the history of the Financial Services industry. But he soon came to realize that he had an innate understanding of the social skills planners need to reach their true potential. He decided to transfer into sales management where he became the National Sales Manager of the Dreyfus Corporation, at that time the second largest mutual fund group in America. Marvin was also the Founder and first President of the New York City chapter of the Financial Planning Association.

Marvin personally trained thousands of men and women at national and regional conferences in the art of selling themselves. Today at workshops around the country, he teaches a wide variety of people the social and conversational skills that enable them to more fully engage in and enjoy their life.

Marvin’s new book, How to Meet and Talk to Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime, presents dozens of fresh, original ways to navigate through any type of scenario with any type of people. Marvin is the owner of Contact Strategies, LLC, in New York City where he also resides.
