Intellectual intelligence (IQ) isn’t sufficient on its own t o become successful in life. IQ can help you get into the best university but EQ\, will enable you to better manage stress and emotions during exam periods. Therefore\, a higher EQ will lead to improvements in your perform ance at work (i.e. stand out as a strong candidate during a job interview) \, your physical and mental health (i.e. reducing the likelihood of seriou s health and mental health problems)\, and your personal relationships (i. e. to better manage your emotions and to avoid mood swings which can be de trimental to forging significant relationships). By understanding your emo tions and how to control them\, you will be better able to adequately expr ess how you feel and also understand how others are feeling. EQ will allow you to become a more efficient communicator and hence\, to develop strong er relationships\, both at work as well as in your personal life. PRESENT ER: Tina C.
