The real question about emotional intelligence still is not "Does emotional intelligence work?" but rather, "How do I get it to work for me?"
Ten years ago when I founded EQ At Work the most frequent comment regarding emotional intelligence I heard sounded like this: "I read about EQ and I'm convinced it's great, but how do I develop my own EQ?" Back then, there was plenty of information about why EQ was a good thing and mounting evidence of how it improved workplace performance and improved quality of life. But, there was a obvious shortage of information on what to do. Today, years later, there's more "how to" information available but people are still looking for answers.
To provide answers EQ At Work is sponsoring a free webinar. The webinar details the key ingredients for development and previews two new development courses, using proven EQ At Work methods, that are inexpensive and that you can participate in from the comfort of your own home or office. Details follow the break. Click to view the schedule and enroll now.

The following is a request for advice that I received and my response. I removed the names to protect the privacy of the writer. The writer wants to know what do do after a bad boss wrecked her life. I hope that posting this letter and answer will support and inspire others. Your comments are welcome.
Hello Mr. Liberti,
The past year has been absolute hell for me. My bullying boss caused me to go out on stress leave; then ultimately have a nervous breakdown, two suicide attempts - result? multiple psych diagnosis’ and medications and finally, loss of my job. He destroyed my reputation within the organization, and has left me with somewhat a form of PTSD that for now, prevents me from answering to a manager.
Our lives are now in shambles as I have lost an $84,000 a year job and we live off my husbands $3000 per month before taxes. Needless to say, we are on the verge of bankruptcy and possibly losing our house while I try to get well and overcome the trauma this man has caused me and my family. I don’t feel as if I have any way of getting restitution. I’m left with constant thoughts that it is not right that he should be able to destroy somebody’s life the way he has done mine and get away with it. What would your advice be?
Most desperately wishing somebody would help me,
