Emotional Intelligence specifically designed for
career professionals. In addition to the feedback
session, participants are offered two on-line follow-up

into Emotional Intelligence has supplied business and
individuals alike with important data about themselves.

can be intellectually smart, i.e., have a high IQ, do well
