Emotional Intelligence is learning how to “read” and understand emotions that are being communicated or passed along. The ability to read body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, but especially the underlying emotions of any communication stand as the most prominent components. Most people are able to tell you what they think of something readily, but not paying attention to the emotion behind the content. Teaching yourself to recognize emotions, then reflect them empathetically is a great place to start with your spouse, partner, children or colleagues.
