Up until 2019, global levels of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) were on the rise. However, recent data shows that our EQ has been steadily dropping since the pandemic. Take a moment to consider what this means for you as a leader. Furthermore, what does it mean in the context of attracting and keeping your top talent? Self-awareness, particularly emotional self-awareness, can be tricky when we haven't either developed or reinforced our emotional intelligence. Let's say that you have done your EQ training and even read a book or two on the subject, but do we genuinely understand what Emotional Intelligence is?  . Let's face it; emotions can seem like an inconvenient pain in that they come up when we don't want them to, and they can be challenging to understand. But what if emotions are the most crucial value your people can bring to your organization? . Well, that's where we're going on our next couple of episodes with our guest Mr. Joshua Freedman. Joshua has co-founded Six Seconds, and for 25 years, he has partnered with leaders to build value with emotions in places like FedEx, the UN, and HSBC.
