Emotional intelligence, also known as EI, refers to the ability to perceive, evaluate and control your emotions as well as respond to the emotions of others.  Previously thought to be an innate characteristic, research suggests that emotional intelligence can be learned or increased through awareness and practice. 

Join us for this Quick Takes session to learn how to increase you perception and management of emotions in order to be more successful professionally and socially.
