Welcome to Conscious Growth, this is our 12th podcast and in this one, we discuss emotional intelligence. 

Emotions are everywhere - in fact, emotions guide every decision we make, we are nearly always in an emotion (even when we are trying to be emotionless!), we may not show emotion but our bodies are secreting hormones and we are constantly interpreting the world around us, perceiving and assessing it and experiencing a sensation - an emotion   We know that emotions drive our behaviour and guide every decision we make - however they can also get in the way and so, understanding our emotional intelligence is paramount in realising our best selves. Emotional Intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that collectively establish how well we perceive and express ourselves, how we develop and maintain relationships, how we cope with challenges and use emotional information in a meaningful and effective way.
