AoF 58: Is it time to Check your Emotional Intelligence? w/ Jay Levin

[mashshare shares=”false” buttons=”true”]

What do you know about emotional intelligence? Today’s guest is going to answer a lot of questions about emotional intelligence, EQ, when you should have your EQ assessed, and what you should do with that information.

Jay Levin has not only helped me to raise my EQ over the last decade, but he used to be a monk turned sales leader, then a COO. Today’s he’s an executive coach, and one of the things he does is assess EQ and help people understand what those assessments mean and what to do with them. Listen in to today’s dynamic interview to learn more about when you should take an EQ test, why emotional intelligence matters, and how you can improve your emotional intelligence! You can completely transform how you engage your business users once you understand your EQ.

“Continuous learners are not as concerned about what the score is in the present. They’re more focused on understanding what’s needed and using the appropriate behaviors to get it.” [26:48] @jslevin
