EQ – not IQ – is the differentiating factor between being a high potential manager or a successful leader who gets the best collaboration, creativity and energy from their organization. Your ability to manage and leverage your emotional intelligence will directly impact your success no matter what your title or responsibilities. With knowledge, training and experiential learning, anyone can learn how to better manage and leverage their emotions – and their subsequent behavior – instead of being run by them while helping those around them do the same.

Emotional resilience is the ability to use your emotions intelligently and appropriately in a variety of situations.
