Love this. Being right is not the same as being effective.

Exactly! Being effective and emotionally regulated is worth more than gold.

Strong reminder. IQ matters, but EQ is what really drives success.

Yes, IQ gets us hired or "in the door"... EQ gets us to the top!

Yes, removing that weight opens up the whole world for us.

Excellent read!🔥 Clearly, this is written by someone who has lived and learned these lessons. According to a study done in Princeton, 82% of how people evaluate you is based on our charisma. Charisma being defined as the ability to "signal warmth and competence." This all comes down to how we are with other people. And the good news is, it can be taught. Looking forward to digging more into this with you on our Live tomorrow!

This is a great article. I can attest to having to learn more EQ as my medical practice and experience has progressed over the years. We’re taught medicine, but not always about how our emotions and behaviors affect those around us.
