In this episode, Brigit Egan, Oakridge's Managing Director, talks to Steve Munro, Oakridge's Senior Consultant on the importance of developing your EQ, also known as Emotional Quotient, which is a set of emotional and social skills in order to make a change for the better.

Brigit provides the measures around the performance and insights into EQ:

1. Self Perception = understanding my emotions
2. Self Expression = how am I expressing that out
3. Inner Personal = how am I developing relationships
4. Decision Making = taking your EQ learning onboard and develop this further
5. Managing Stress = managing your wellbeing and mental health
