Emotions are the building blocks of every relationship in your life, and the power of those emotions cannot be overlooked. Emotions influence the way you relate and react to others—often without your awareness. If you are not keenly aware of the emotions you are experiencing internally and how you are communicating this externally—and similarly aware of the other person would appear unattractive to others because of the negative effect you might have  on them.  Human beings are highly social creatures with strong needs for relationships and positive connections to others. We are not meant to survive, let alone thrive, in isolation. Our social brains crave companionship—even when experience has made us shy and distrustful of others.  The ability to be aware of your own emotions and the feelings of others is the key to betters relationships that are engaging, exciting, fulfilling, creative, and productive. Emotional intelligence keeps your relationships strong and healthy. Without it, your relationships will always stall and  potentially break down. Fortunately, emotional intelligence is based on set of skills that you can learn at any time.

Learning the skills of emotional intelligence help to:

•    Build safety and trust
•    Capture the attention and interest of others
•    Respond to others with empathy and compassion
•    Send and receive appropriate nonverbal signals
•    Be more playful and creative
Resolve conflict and repair wounded feelings
