Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a game-changer— not just for personal success, but for the health, culture, and performance of an organization.

It touches every aspect of your day, from how you tackle challenges at work to how you unwind at night.

For companies, the stakes have never been higher: over 70% of an employee’s perception of company culture is directly influenced by their leaders' EQ, yet only 20% of leaders and organizations embody true emotional intelligence.

Even more problematic, while 85% of people believe they have strong EQ, studies reveal that only 15% truly do.
