Emotional intelligence

Intelligence isn't just about how well you do in exams. Emotional intelligence is about understanding and managing yourself and relating to others.

There are two parts to emotional intelligence:

Understanding yourself, your goals, intentions, responses, and behaviour.
Understanding others, and their feelings.
