Emotional intelligence (EQ) is not a new concept; it was around as long ago as Socrates, who had these wise words of advice: ​Know Thyself.

​

Hundreds of years later, we have begun to formalize Socrates' philosophies into what has become known as social and emotional learning

​

(SEL), the learning process by which we can aspire to a higher EQ.



Studies show that EQ is the best predictor of a child's future achievement; better than any other single factor.

​

EQ is a better predictor of success than IQ and technical skills combined.
