Emotional intelligence is defined as

“a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.”

Emotional intelligence (EI) as defined here and applied in the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0) reflects one’s overall wellbeing and ability to succeed in life.

While emotional intelligence isn’t the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is also not a static factor — to the contrary, one’s emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas.  (Visit this definition & more at:  http://ei.mhs.com/AboutEmotionalIntelligence.aspx)

EQ is different from IQ.  Someone commented it is “streets smarts” versus “book smarts.”  If you’re looking to expand your perception of your skills or how others view your emotional and social functioning, contact me.  The EQ-i is a fascinating look at what makes us tick — and how we can succeed at work and in life.

Branding is good but it’s what is on the inside (culture) that matters

From Fast Company —

Culture, like brand, is misunderstood and often discounted as a touchy-feely component of business that belongs to HR. It’s not intangible or fluffy, it’s not a vibe or the office décor. It’s one of the most important drivers that has to be set or adjusted to push long-term, sustainable success. It’s not good enough just to have an amazing product and a healthy bank balance. Long-term success is dependent on a culture that is nurtured and alive. Culture is the environment in which your strategy and your brand thrives or dies a slow death.  Read more …
