Developing resilience is a lot like engineering a building to withstand an earthquake. It requires a solid foundation and a flexible structure that won’t crack or crumble under pressure. In human terms, it translates into self-esteem, connections with others, mental agility, and effective coping strategies.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to comprehend your emotions and manage them effectively. Research shows that people who show high levels of emotional intelligence skills are stronger leaders, better decision makers, foster better relationships, and increase team efficiency in the workplace. It also suggests that EQ is a more accurate predictor of success at work and in life than the more traditional IQ test.
When bright people fail in the workplace, it’s usually caused by a lack of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). The good news is that emotional intelligence skills can be developed and improved. When you’re ready to implement an emotional intelligence assessment program in your organization, participants tap into the best tools available.
