What is Social and Emotional Intelligence?

Social and Emotional Intelligence is the ability to be aware of our own emotions and those of others and to use that information to control impulses, manage ourselves and our relationships effectively, even in challenging situations.
Social and Emotional Intelligence not only has high benefits in our daily lives but becomes a strong foundation helping us to deal with stressful situations during change or transition periods. A high EQ (emotional quotient) enables us to make better decisions, have a calmer and clearer mind, communicate well, neutralize conflicts and increase empathy.
Social and Emotional Intelligence can be learned and strengthened throughout our lives, not only by adults but also by children and teenagers.
Children and teenagers who work with a coach in strengthening their Social and Emotional Intelligence skills, for instance, can understand and manage emotions better, are better behaved, have a more positive attitude and improved decision-making skills. They tend to feel good about themselves while doing positive actions and are more able to adapt, understand and empathize with people who may come from different backgrounds or cultures.
