Introduction to Foundational Skills


The Foundational Skills of Emotional Intelligence are:

  • Core capacities that we must develop to successfully tackle cultivating the remaining suite of EI Competencies. Emotional Balance is one of these Foundational skills.  
  • These are prerequisites for the development of all the other competencies. Each one corresponds to specific brain areas and their connections. We can positively change the power of their connectivity with practices you will experiment with in this module.
  • Once strengthened, these skills enhance our capacity to have the greatest positive influence on our personal outcomes and our relationships.
