  • Leaders, employees and organizations are more stressed than ever and something needs to change.
  • Stress, anger, resentment, frustration, and other negative emotions adversely affect the brain, (get data from neurologists for this) which can impact us personally and professionally.
  • We need to have a balance of brain waves depending on the activity we are doing and an excess of beta brainwaves can be associated with stress and anxiety.
  • EQ can support individuals by implementing key tools and techniques related to emotional intelligence, and, in turn, support brain health.
  • We can measure our brain waves during certain activities and leverage EQ principles to optimize the way the brain operates.
