Goleman's Emotional Intelligence Framework

Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence Framework identifies key skills for understanding and managing emotions in ourselves and others. It includes five components: **self-awareness** (recognizing our own emotions), **self-regulation** (controlling emotional responses), **motivation** (driving ourselves to achieve goals), **empathy** (understanding others’ emotions), and **social skills** (building healthy relationships). These skills influence how effectively we navigate social situations, make decisions, and handle stress. Developing emotional intelligence enhances personal well-being, improves communication, and fosters stronger relationships both professionally and personally.
