We know that high IQ does not necessarily mean high EQ. Various studies suggest that EQ plays an important role in determining success. People with low EQ face problems in their personal and professional lives, as they lack empathy. They find it difficult to form interpersonal connections and manage their emotions. They also have poor communication skills and show higher levels of stress and anxiety.

Since both our professional and personal lives require us to work with different kinds of people, having EQ along with IQ is an important factor. People with low EQ can always use different types of strategies and techniques to improve their emotional intelligence. Some of them are:

1. They can practice mindfulness. Being aware of ourselves, others, and our surroundings can be helpful to increase our emotional awareness.

2. One can start with simple techniques to regulate our emotions, including deep breathing and other exercises.

3. One can take the initiative to form interpersonal relationships, try to understand and show empathy towards them.

4. Paying attention to what the other person is saying also helps initiate a sense of mutual understanding.

5. People who still find it difficult to improve their emotional awareness can always seek professional help from counselors and therapists.

By practicing these strategies with sincerity and commitment, people can work on improving their EQ and other related skills.
