Why do people with average IQs outperform those with the highest IQs 70% of the time? One important factor is EQ, emotional intelligence. And unlike IQ, emotional intelligence is a choice and a discipline, not an innate quality bestowed upon the lucky. In this talk, Dr. Travis Bradberry talks about EQ and offers three ways to improve it.

Dr. Travis Bradberry is the award-winning coauthor of "Emotional Intelligence 2.0" and the cofounder of TalentSmart, the world’s leading provider of emotional intelligence tests and training. His bestselling books have been translated into 25 languages and are available in more than 150 countries.
