5 Keys to Boosting Your Emotional Intelligence IQ What it is and How to Apply it

People with a high degree of emotional intelligence know what they are feeling, what their feelings means and how these emotions can affect them and other people.

Arnold was a big hit this week! He was full of energy, had great stories, related well to our group, and was funny. The group walked away with specific ways to connect with people at our Holiday Gala party we’re hosting for our customers next week. Thanks for making both of us look good!

You, of course, knocked their socks off in La Costa with a 9.3 rating. I see the dilemma forming already about breaking tradition and bringing you back for a third year at the Annual meeting!
