However, many of us are not explicitly taught the critical skills of emotional intelligence - the ability to understand, acknowledge, and respond to our own and others’ emotions. And yet, without the ability to understand and regulate our own emotions or to understand the emotional experiences of others, we are limited in our ability to achieve our goals. Emotional intelligence is integral to regulating our emotions, working effectively or communicating with others, and overcoming challenges. Emotional intelligence is essential to optimizing productivity, workplace cohesion and culture, and problem-solving. We need emotional intelligence to promote our wellness intelligence.
