Emotional Intelligence Today, I would like to teach you how to make money, get a job, impress adults, help people to like you, and get the attention you would like that will help you be successful in life. If I could teach you that would you be interested? –Do you know what your I.Q. is? –Have you heard any discussion about how smart someone is? –Do you think you are very smart? –How can you tell if someone is very smart? –What would you base your opinion on and how would you know if you’re right?

Emotional Intelligence That’s a lot of questions! This is what we have found. You will be surprised but at the same time you will agree that you knew it all along… and you did. I.Q.? E.Q.?
