The Price of Low Emotional Intelligence

Low EQ is expensive in terms of lost money, opportunity, time,

relationships, promotions, careers, projects, goals,

accomplishments, self-esteem, marriages, physical and emotional

health, and even life.



The good news is that there is no need to have low EQ. EQ can be

learned and improved over a lifetime and you can start right

away, no matter how old you are.



These are some of the results of low EQ.



75 % of careers are derailed for reasons related to emotional

competencies.



70% of the reasons why customers and clients are lost are

EQ-related.



50% of time wasted in business is due to lack of trust.



Seniors get worse in hospitals when the physical therapists

dont engage with them.



Counseling clients fail to change because their counselors lack

empathy or optimism.



50% of marriages fail.



. Over 2/3rds of second and third marriages fail.



Suicide is the third leading cause of death for youths aged


15-24 in the US.



Impulsive boys are three to six times as likely to be violent

adolescents.



Low levels of empathy predict poor school performance.



Gifted children have great difficulty reading social cues which

leads to sad and isolated childhoods.



Doctors with poor EQ skills get sued more.



75-90% of visits to primary care physicians in the US are due

to stress-related problems.



Pessimists live shorter, unhealthier, unhappier lives, and are

less likely to achieve their potential than optimists.



College students in a study with the same IQ and GPA who did

not write down their career goals with intentionality were 50%

less successful 15 years later.



Emotional Intelligence consists of a set of life skills you can

learn that will help you manage your emotions better.



Individuals who start developing their EQ notice improvements in

their lives immediately in terms of relationships, work and

social life. They also experience a great sense of relief,

because it supplies the missing piece. As one client said,

Now I know whats going on. The rest is easy.
