Here’s The Essence of Emotional Intelligence

How would you describe Emotional Intelligence in just a few words? Last year, 8 Tune up your EQ readers, Manchild, Dr. Robyn McMaster, Dr. Ellen Weber, Ray Hobby, Linda Zdnawicz, Anthony Mersino, Tanika Williams and Jeanette Campbell shared their wisdom. Ellen Janssens also contributed great ideas.

You can learn from each of them. But what if you had to choose just one of their offerings?

The words that resonate with me most strongly come from Ellen Weber from the Brain Based Business Blog. Here’s what she said:

“Emotions for me are in no way separate from intellect …. They enhance the brain, though, only when we learn to wield them as resources and not leak them as deficits”

Read Ellen’s words aloud a few times. If you adopted her insights, how would this transform your life?

    Galba, I, too, never cease to be amazed at the way Ellen expresses points in such vivid language. Though some of the most respected learning theorists such as Vogotsky and Dewey state that we cannot separate the intellect and emotions, they never said it with such adventure! Ellen always stretches ideas to the very essence of practicality. You make a great choice here.
