Five components of EQ
Emotional Intelligence is a critical component in the process of mentoring, and something that we consider crucial to the personal and professional development of our mentees.

Self-awareness The ability to recognize and understand your moods, emotions, and drives, as well as their effects on others. Self-regulation The ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses and moods and the propensity to suspend judgment to think before acting. Motivation A passion to work for reasons that go beyond money or status and the propensity to pursue goals with energy and persistence. Empathy The ability to understand the emotional makeup of other people and the skill to treat people according to their emotional reactions. Social Skills Proficiency in managing relationships and building networks and the ability to find common ground and build rapport.
