In today's world the way you lead yourself and others is more important than ever.

Emotional intelligence is essential to good leadership in all areas of life: work, relationships, parenting.

Unfortunately, our society is not set up for the emotional health of parents. Childhood emotional neglect is a silent epidemic; during the early years our needs were not met, leading to low self-esteem, difficulties regulating emotions, relationship problems and preventing us to fully develop a sense of self.

This is the root cause of many problems... The good news is that there is a solution!

Some researchers believe that our success at the game of life is driven far more by our emotional intelligence (EQ) than our cognitive intelligence (IQ).

The cool thing? While IQ remains pretty much fixed from birth, EQ (or SEI) can be learned!
