EQ Above IQ
Episode Description
How often do you ever stop and contemplate your own emotional intelligence? For that matter, what is emotional intelligence, how do you even begin to measure it, and how does it impact our society on a daily basis?
My guest this week is Trina Casey, and she’s an author/emotional intelligence coach currently based out of Amsterdam. She works with children and adults to help them overcome past trauma that might be negatively affecting how they interact with the world.
We covered a lot of ground in this interview, and it’s probably one of the more eye-opening conversations that I’ve had so far. You’re definitely going to learn something from this one.
