After spending the morning at 72 and Sunny I digested a piece of information I had yet to hear within the industry. As an account manager, emotional intelligence is what takes you to the next level. This idea has diverse implications for each individual and my first thought after receiving this bit of insight was, how does one measure their emotional intelligence? Experiences, character, fear, empathy, relationships. I truly believe that this intelligence grows as life goes on. 

As an account manager, being able to understand where people are coming from, what they’re going through and where they want to be is extremely powerful. More than anything, if I can’t look within myself, I could never attempt to see another person’s struggle.

This week is dedicated to introspection.
