We have all heard the term “emotional intelligence,” or EQ, but what exactly does it mean? Basically, it refers to a person’s ability to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions, as well as interpret and influence the emotions of others. Having high EQ doesn’t mean you have to be nice or agreeable all the time. It is more about the ability to read a room, respond to stress in healthy ways, and handle interpersonal challenges with awareness and tact.
