How Developing Your EQ Is a Game Changer at Work

Presenter: Caitlin Magidson Ed '15

Emotional intelligence helps us recognize and understand emotions in ourselves and in others. People who have higher EQ are better able to manage their emotions and use them in appropriate ways. According to the Creative Center for Leadership, 75% of careers are 'derailed for reasons related to emotional competencies, including the inability to handle interpersonal problems; unsatisfactory team leadership during times of difficulty or conflict; or inability to adapt to change or elicit trust.'

In this session you'll learn why developing your EQ is important at work and strategies on how to do it.
