## What is Emotional Intelligence?

#### "Emotional intelligence is not simply about being in touch with your feelings and emotions. It’s about creating self-awareness, then managing and expressing emotions appropriately and effectively. It is also being intentional about becoming familiar with others so that we can adjust and adapt to varying situations, environments and relationships."
