Episode 92- Welcome to Latino Business Report! In this episode, we’re diving deep into the realm of emotional intelligence (E.I.), exploring its profound implications across various aspects of life.

E.I., encapsulates our capacity to understand, manage, and leverage emotions effectively. More than just controlling our own feelings, E.I. involves empathetically responding to others’ emotions—a skill set arguably more critical for success than raw intellectual prowess.

Join us as we dissect the components of E.I. and its pivotal role in navigating social complexities, fostering Relationships, and making sound decisions. Our guest, Michael Garza, CEO of Battle Tested Performance and a leading researcher in industrial/organizational psychology, brings invaluable insights. Garza’s innovative algorithmic approaches aim to optimize business and human performance, empowering clients to unleash their full mental potential.

Tune in as we explore practical strategies for enhancing E.I. and uncover how it can revolutionize both personal and professional spheres. Don’t miss out on this enlightening discussion!
