Understand that emotional intelligence matters.
Being able to understand and manage emotions will help you succeed. Your authentic self comes from your ability to proactively accept candid feedback, empathize with other people’s experience, be humble, and understand how your actions—or inactions—affect others. The importance of investing time and purpose in your own emotional intelligence is paramount. When you work to control your thoughts, your emotions don’t control you. This allows you to live in authentic harmony with your goals and values, both personally and professionally.
Whether you are just starting out in your career or are already on a path in this industry, consider leaning in to one of these topics. I continue to focus on all four.
