Intellectual intelligenc e (IQ) isn’t sufficient on its own to become successful in life. IQ can he lp you get into the best university but EQ\, will enable you to better man age stress and emotions during exam periods. Therefore\, a higher EQ will lead to improvements in your performance at work (i.e. stand out as a stro ng candidate during a job interview)\, your physical and mental health (i. e. reducing the likelihood of serious health and mental health problems)\, and your personal relationships (i.e. to better manage your emotions and to avoid mood swings which can be detrimental to forging significant relat ionships). By understanding your emotions and how to control them\, you wi ll be better able to adequately express how you feel and also understand h ow others are feeling. EQ will allow you to become a more efficient commun icator and hence\, to develop stronger relationships\, both at work as wel l as in your personal life.\n\nPRESENTER:\n\nTina C.
