​Daniel Goleman argued that it was not IQ or cognitive intelligence that produced business success but emotional intelligence (EQ). He said high EQ people were those who:Were good at understanding their own emotions.

• Were good at managing their emotions.
• Were empathetic and were good at understanding the drives and emotions of others.
• Were good at handling other people’s emotions.

An important difference between IQ and EQ is that IQ was considered by many to be absolute and unchangeable. Although many began to question that over the years, the widespread notion was that IQ was hereditary and innate in the brain structure. EQ, on the other hand is now  viewed as a set of skills which can be taught and learned. 

The understanding is that emotional intelligence can be altered and taught has given rise to new therapies which combined notions of traditional psychotherapy to treat problems and social training to improve social skills and improve social intelligence. This notion of the openness of social intelligence changed a lot in the way many view counseling, clinical psychology, and social work. Developing social intelligence, especially in the way one understands and manages his or her own emotions has a lot to do with the treatment we provide here at AccessGrace.
