Скачать или смотреть What is Emotional Intelligence Really Is || Why It Matters In Life and Work

What if success in life has less to do with how smart you are—and more to do with how well you understand and manage your emotions?

In this episode of Growth Reads with Vicky, we explore what emotional intelligence is and why it matters more than we are often taught. Drawing from decades of psychological research, including insights from Emotional Intelligence, this video breaks down why academic intelligence (IQ) alone cannot guarantee success in relationships, work, or leadership.

Research suggests that IQ explains only a small portion of life success, often cited at around 20%, while non-IQ factors—especially emotional intelligence—play a much larger role. Emotional intelligence shapes how we handle conflict, respond to feedback, communicate under pressure, and lead ourselves and others.

In this video, we discuss:
What emotional intelligence really means (in simple language)
Why emotions are not weaknesses, but signals
How our ancient emotional systems operate in modern life
Why emotional intelligence predicts better outcomes than IQ alone
The role of emotional intelligence in relationships, work, and leadership, especially in an African context

This conversation is for anyone seeking personal growth, healthier relationships, better communication, and more intentional living. It is also for leaders, professionals, and individuals who want to understand the human mind beyond grades and credentials.

In the next episodes, we will break emotional intelligence down further—how to recognize emotions, process them, and respond rather than react.
