The most important step for professional development!

Following on from Professor Howard Gardner's 1980 groundbreaking theories on intelligence, Karl Albrecht arranged human intelligences into 6 categories:

• Abstract Intelligence (I.Q.)
• Practical Intelligence (getting things done)
• Emotional Intelligence (self awareness/self management)
• Aesthetic Intelligence (a sense of form, design, music, art and literature)
• Kinesthetic Intelligence (whole body skills like sport and dance)
• Social Intelligence (personal interaction skills)

Technical skills are important - however the fact remains that the most successful people have high levels of social quotient (SQ). What is Social Quotient?

"The ability to get along with others and encourage co-operation"

Getting along with others and creating positive connections is fundamental to being human and is essential for business success.  The ability to connect with others has no gender or cultural barriers and the principles are based in concepts that can be learned and built on.
