Read time: 2 minutes. Emotional intelligence is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships with empathy. What does this have to do with communications?

The more EQ you have, the more powerful you will be at communicating. Your ability to connect with others will cause people to be attracted to you, your ideas and your message.

So how can you continue honing your EQ at work (and in life?) There are 3 things to remember:

1. Self-Awareness: By understanding our own emotions, we can communicate more effectively. Being aware of our feelings and how they impact our communication helps us choose the right words, tone, and approach in different situations. Self-awareness enables us to express ourselves authentically and appropriately.
2. Empathy: When we empathize with others, we can better understand peoples emotions and perspectives. This understanding allows us to tailor our communication to their needs, concerns, and values. Empathy helps build trust, strengthens relationships, and fosters a positive and supportive communication environment.
3. Emotional Regulation: This skill is vital for maintaining calm and composure during challenging or stressful communication situations. By managing our emotions effectively, we can prevent conflicts, resolve disagreements more constructively, and keep communication channels open and respectful.

Emotional intelligence plays a significant role in good communication. People with high EQ become great communicators and become great leaders.
