A Good “How To” List for Improving Your EQ

Research has also shown that EQ is the second most important factor in job performance, only behind cognitive intelligence. So, it stands to reason that we will all benefit by improving our personal Emotional Intelligence Quotient!- Realize that EQ is not a quick-fix process. It evolves over time.

- Know your frustration tolerance and hot buttons.
- Learn to express anger appropriately.
