Emotional intelligence, also called EQ, is the ability to identify and manage both your own emotions and the emotions of the people you interact with. Emotional intelligence impacts all areas of our lives where we communicate with others, but it's especially critical in the workplace. Jenn, a certified career coach at Indeed, shares four ways to strengthen the fundamentals of EQ:

1) Write in a journal daily to self-reflect and improve self-awareness.

2) Train your mind to be focus on positivity by rewarding yourself for a job well done, practicing meditation and holding yourself accountable.

3) Develop awareness of the feelings of others, as well as your own.

4) Use active listening to improve relationship management.
