The concept of EQ - Emotional Intelligence - got infamous around 80 years ago alias Social Intelligence but surprisingly it became a term in the 90's. Emotion Inteligence shows, how likely we can label and separate our feelings, how we handle and paying attention to other's feeling and based on that what decisions we make.

Believe it or not, but EQ plays an important role in your workplace as well.

It plays a crucial role at work since, if we get overwhelmed time by time we know how to motivate ourselfes. If we combine that with some empathy we will be able to motivate not only ourselfes but the others as well. It will have an effect not only on our performance but on the company's performance as well.

It does matter whether we put our hands in our pocket or crossing them and also whether out foot looking to sideways or towards the listener. Most people do not know for example, if you turn your head to the right and rise your eyebrows it puts pressure to the other. And it is just the top of the iceberg! You can tell a lot of things about you without saying a word. If you know body language you can get extra informations at your workplace as well, since it becomes obvious for you how the collegaues are related to other.
