“Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.”

Research has been showing for quite some time now how important emotional intelligence is in the workplace. Really, it’s important in all social aspects of our lives, which means in all aspects of our lives. Managing ourselves through increased self-awareness, leads to better interpersonal skills, and that leads to better management and leadership. It also makes you a better team player, which helps all the more as the best teams become increasingly diverse. 

This podcast focuses on self-exploration and personal identity -- to help you construct who you are, and how you want to feel, think, believe, and behave for yourself. Check out our gratitude challenge for the month of November at bigselfschool.com/gratitude.
