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.

Teresa Morrow began her life as a symbol of inspiration; born under special circumstances weighing a little over one pound compounded with severe heart issues. She overcame these medical obstacles surprising the doctors by living beyond their projected life span of twenty-four hours. Later, in her teens, she was introduced to the world of writing when she submitted a poem for creative writing class which got selected for the school yearbook. Her professional background has expanded from working with family business to Fortune 500 companies as an executive assistant.

Following an internal sense of purpose she turned that enterprise into an online book promotional company that has helped numerous authors share their personal messages with others.

At 40, this native Floridian’s true life purpose came to the forefront.
