VaWi Consulting

Recognize your emotions and how they influence your actions.

Stay calm under stressful situations and manage conflicts.

Empathize, listen, and motivate people.

These are vital skills in the workplace, yet they were never part of our curriculums.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) refers to the ability to recognize, evaluate, and regulate our emotions. EQ enables us to pause and assess feelings as they come up, identify how they influence our actions, and understand the impact they have on others.

High levels of EQ in the workplace can help us stay calm under pressure, effectively manage conflict, empathize and listen to others, understand what motivates people, and align our work with our personal purpose.
