The key to a positive impact on personal and business relationships
“Just recently, my wife asked me, ‘Hey, what are you working on right now with your emotional intelligence training?’ and I said, ‘Honestly, it’s everything I wished I would have learned when I was 18.’ It’s the stuff that we need to know or learn and we probably missed it early on and we’ve gone years for some of us just tripping over our own two feet.”-Seth Williams
Emotional intelligence is defined as an awareness, self control, and expression of one’s own emotions which leads to the ability to handle interpersonal relationships thoughtfully and empathetically. How smart are you emotionally? Are you aware of your strengths and weaknesses and the strengths and weaknesses of those around you?

“God designed our brain to be the filter that all of our interactions run through. So we don’t just want to remove the emotion, but we need to engage that rational portion at the same time so we actually behave and respond in a balanced manner with whatever that interaction is.” -Seth Williams
