Helen’s presentation explores the evolving understanding of success factors in professional and personal development.
Historically, it was widely accepted that IQ (intelligence quotient) was the primary determinant of one’s success. However, this perspective has been significantly challenged. Consider those academically gifted students from your school years – while some have achieved considerable success, many others have not reached expected heights.

Since the 1990s, there has been growing recognition that EQ (Emotional Intelligence) contributes more significantly to a person’s achievements than their IQ.

The encouraging aspect is that unlike IQ, which remains relatively fixed, emotional intelligence can be developed and enhanced by anyone. Educational institutions have acknowledged this importance, incorporating emotional intelligence into their standard curriculum.

This session will examine the concept of EQ and provide practical approaches for developing and improving your own Emotional Intelligence.

Learning Objectives: from this session, you will learn about:

1. What is emotional intelligence
2. Why is it important for leaders
3. What you can do to improve your own Emotional Intelligence
