Improving Soft Skills through Emotional Intelligence | Origin: ED115

Michael Howe

Emotional intelligence is defined as a set of abilities to:

Manage ones self
Manage relationships with others
Managing means, to adjust habits when we interact with others.

Persons with high “EQ” will be a better “soft skill” problem solver, while a person with a high “IQ” will be a better “Hard skill” problem solver.

4 tips to help improve soft skills are:

Be aware of your emotions
Choose your emotions
Manage your emotions
Control the progression of your emotions

“EQ” is so important because poor “EQ” can cause, poor mental & physical health, can cause poor workplace performance, & poor social awareness.

I plan to use this as an out line & reminder to use apply & implement these skills in a more efficient manor.
