Emotional Intelligence:  Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to sense, understand, and effectively apply the power of emotions as a source of human energy, influence, trust, creativity, and information.  Key is recognizing one’s emotions and their impact, as well as others’ emotions and how best to interact.  Research demonstrates that EI plays a critical role in determining one’s success in all domains of one’s life – at work and at home and that EI, and not IQ alone, is the best predictor of success in life and work.
