Soft Skills - Know Thy Self (Part 2)

We all know developing our skills is important in today’s ultra-competitive world.  However, being book-smart and having a high IQ will only take you so far.  To be successful, we must effectively promote ourselves and our ideas.  This is why we need to develop our Emotional Intelligence (EI) and raise our EQ.  EI reflects our ability to understand ourselves and others, which directly translates into your ability to lead, build effective teams, and influence others.
