We define Emotional Intelligence is the ability to:

• Recognize, understand and manage our own emotions and;
• Recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others.

In practical terms, this means being aware that emotions can drive our behavior and impact people (positively and negatively), and learning how to manage those emotions - both our own and others.

Do you think Emotional intelligence is something that you are born with or is it something that can be taught? Make your case. (Minimum Three Hundred Fifty Words)
