As a real estate professional, you’re dealing with what can be a very emotional transaction because it’s likely the largest financial investment most people will make. To perform at your best, you need to fully understand emotions: yours, your clients’ and everyone else’s.

Did you know that your mood impacts your attention, memory and learning; decision making; relationship quality; physical and mental health; and performance and creativity?

And when you have emotional intelligence, you tend to be less stressed, turn to your vices less, and you’ll have greater wellbeing and empathy, better quality relationships, higher performance ratings, better customer service relations, greater leadership skills and greater job satisfaction.

Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence Founding Director Marc Brackett dives deep into EQ and the impact it can have on your business onstage at Inman Connect New York.
