What is Emotional intelligence?
Emotional Intelligence (EQ or Emotional Quotient) is the capability, skills and competencies that combine to create positive outcomes in your relationships with others and with you

Positive outcomes include experiencing joy, optimism and self-defined success in your life, both at work and in your personal life. EQ refers to the non-IQ areas of human intelligence.

Generally, people with well developed emotional intelligence skills are ones who are able to recognize and express their emotions, and who possess a positive self-regard and are able to actualize their potential and lead fairly happy lives. They are able to understand the way others feel and are capable of making and maintaining mutually satisfying and responsible interpersonal relationships without becoming dependant of others. Well developed skills also allow these people to live generally optimistic, flexible lives and help them in being successful in solving problems and coping with stress in a positive way.
