Will We Ever Achieve Mastery of Emotional Intelligence? with Devin Williams
Manage episode 358542417 series 3325489
Devin Williams, VP of Sales at DataRobot, joins KD in this edition of the Live Better Sell Better podcast. Emotional intelligence is thrown around as something that is related to soft skills. But is it something that can actually be taught, much like a hard skill?
Devin defines the Emotional Quotient (EQ) or emotional intelligence and what it means for sales professionals. He talks about the connection between self-awareness and social awareness and how both essentially make our complexities as human beings.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Self-awareness can be scary because it involves self-inspection - Devin: "You can't get started on self-awareness until you're ready to take a hard look in the mirror and agree to go make some changes."
What else can you do to improve social awareness? - Devin: "The more questions that you can ask in a genuine and authentic level of curiosity, the more your social awareness is going to improve. Because you've put in the effort and work to grow your self-awareness, you are now more able to see the world for what it really is."
