Emotional Intelligence for Beginners with Spirit of EQ

We have all had a couple of crazy, frustrating years. Now, we are drawing in a deep breath, ready to take on the new one.

But wouldn’t it be better to begin this new year with a new attitude?

How does a person know if they have emotional intelligence? And why is it important for an individual?

With us today are Eric Pennington and Jeff East, both partners with an organization called the Spirit of EQ in Central Ohio.

What is emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to perceive, use, understand, manage, and handle emotions. It is important for an individual to reach this goal, but why is it important for an organization?

Spirit of EQ provides EQ assessments of an organization. Jeff and Eric explain more about that assessment and what steps are produced as related to the evaluation.

Eric provides some great examples of the types of organizations that have utilized their company. Eric talks about the journey of where they were when they started working with them and how this moves toward a high EQ level and success.

Spirit of EQ finds the employees at various levels of EQ. Some are more advanced while others may be a bit behind. Jeff and Eric talk about if it's possible to get everyone on the “same page” at the same time.
