Before starting the Emotional Intelligence class, I thought I was in touch with my emotions.  What I learned was; I was in touch only with the reaction I was having vs. the root cause of those reactions.  Understanding the difference has made all the difference both at work and home.
The study of EI surprised me. There was a noticeable difference both in how I perceived my job & coworkers and I believe in how they perceived me after the changes I learned to make.  Work has been drastically more harmonious since EI changed how I act and  react to the stresses of the job.    Thanks for the class
