EQ help me to be aware of students feelings toward a subject or a presentation. If I see that I am losing them or they are not engaged, then I change my presentation to bring them back on board.

I have learned skills to help me improve as an instructor in the classroom and with co workers. It has also helped me to recognixze the areas i can improve on in resolving conflict. Emotional Intelligence is something that has to be on the forefront of our radar and kept under control. We dont get to choose the students we teach so we need to be more emapathic and on top of our game to be more effective for all the students. If i have a student that is difficult then it needs to be addressed immediately.

Sometimes it is difficult to improve on EQ, when there may be other factors involved such as poor self esteem. However, managing your emotions is a key aspect of feeling empathy for other people. Healthy EQ improves the outlook on the future.
