Emotional Intelligence (EQ or EI) is a term created in 1990 by two American university professors, Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer. Daniel Goleman popularized Emotional Intelligence in his book that was published in 1995. Goleman was a science writer for the New York Times and he specialized in brain and behavior research. Emotional Intelligence is defined as the ability to recognize, understand and manage your own emotions and influence the emotions of others. This means that we are aware that emotions can drive our behavior and impact others either positively or negatively. Emotional Intelligence includes three skills: emotional awareness; the ability to harness emotions and apply them to tasks like thinking and problem solving; and the ability to manage emotions. According to Goleman, “cognitive intelligence does not guarantee business success but emotional intelligence”. The four characteristics of emotionally intelligent people are self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and social skills. In 1998, Goleman published a book called “Working with Emotional Intelligence” where he defined emotional intelligence saying that it consist of 25 skills, abilities and competencies.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) or the ability to understand my own emotions and others emotions was an ability I had underestimated before taking this course.
