Emotional Intelligence and the Value it Provides: EQ Series Pt 2
We’re back Inside the Pickle Jar this week, and we’re still swimming around in emotional intelligence (EQ) because it deserves more than just one episode.
In this conversation, I’m getting into:
🧠 Where EQ actually comes from (yes, there’s brain science behind it)
😤 Why managing emotional reactions isn’t about “being professional”—it’s about protecting your energy
📉 How high IQ doesn’t mean much if your EQ is tanking your relationships or leadership skills
🔄 And—maybe most importantly—that EQ isn’t something you either have or don’t have. You can build it. Just like any other skill.
I’m breaking down the core pieces of EQ:
- Self-awareness
- Self-management
- Social awareness
- Relationship management
…all things I know can feel overwhelming, especially for neurodivergent folks. But that’s exactly why I want us talking about it. Because neurodivergent or not, emotional intelligence makes everything, from managing your team to handling that weird comment in a meeting, a little bit easier.
