Beyond intellect, emotional intelligence (EQ) is one of the most significant predictors of success and personal fulfillment. It is a collection of essential soft skills that govern how we perceive, understand, and manage emotions. The journey to improve EQ is built on four key pillars: self-awareness (knowing your own feelings), emotional regulation (controlling your reactions), empathy (recognizing emotions in others), and effective social skills.

Developing these interpersonal skills has a profound impact on every area of your life. It enhances communication, strengthens relationships, and leads to more thoughtful, well-rounded decisions. Unlike IQ, emotional intelligence is not fixed; it can be cultivated and strengthened through conscious practice. By working to understand the emotional landscape—both internal and external—you build the foundation for more effective interactions and a more resilient mindset.
