Join us Behind the Frontline, a podcast hosted by Frontline Training Solutions' Creative Director, Nic Dampier, and Managing Director, Nathan Leaman, where we facilitate in-depth discussions around timeless solutions for everyday workplace and workforce challenges.  In this episode we answer the question, "What is emotional intelligence?"

Emotional intelligence, in simple terms, is “What I think and do about the way I feel”. It’s about recognizing your feelings, understanding your thoughts, and assessing your potential reactions in different situations.

According to a recent study, emotional intelligence accounts for 58% of job success. It’s also projected to be among the top ten skills to have in the evolving job market.  Employees with strong emotional intelligence are believed to be better equipped for success, as they possess the capacity to address various workplace challenges that interfere with productivity or collaboration.
