As you progress in your career and through your life, she explains, emotional intelligence isn't just a "nice to have" soft skill. It's a vital talent that allows you to show up as your best self, in good times and during tough moments. In Flex Your Feelings, you'll find a blueprint for building an emotional fitness practice that works for you--so you can live it, every day.
