There is many males in different cultures who are taught not to show emotions. Sylvia says, “If you don’t care, you are probably not showing your emotions to your benefit.” If your ability to understand yourself, manage your own emotions, and manage the impact on people around you is a skill set that helps with your people skills, ability to work well with the team, and be inspirational to others. Companies hire for technical skills, know how, and IQ, but fire for no emotional intelligence. You need to care about the company culture, be energized, be seen, be heard, and be valued.
“The Effect You Have On Others Is The Most Valuable Currency There Is.”
