LEARN WAYS TO INCREASE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE:
Do you ever wonder why some people relate better than others? Daniel Goleman Ph.D., author of Emotional Intelligence, writes that character and people skills (EQ) are much more important to success in life in general than traditional intelligence measured as IQ. Research suggests that EQ is highly correlated with success in relationships and career.
Dr. Ferretti has extensive experience with people who are intellectually overdeveloped and emotionally underdeveloped, and he will help you discover how to grow in your emotional intelligence, express emotion more openly, and be more aware, sensitive, and understanding of others’ emotions. Increasing emotional maturity will lead to greater connections, constructive interactions at work and home, and life-long happiness.
