In business, we’re taught that IQ matters. In relationship-based businesses, we’re taught the EQ matters, but there’s one area whose importance we don’t consider - experiential intelligence. Experiential intelligence doesn’t just elevate our EQ and IQ, it can allow us to leverage our own unique insights.

 

How do we elevate our experiential intelligence? How do we uncover the things that contribute to our experiential intelligence?

 

In this episode, I’m joined by award-winning author of “Experiential Intelligence: Harness the Power of Experience for Personal and Business Breakthroughs”, Soren Kaplan. He shares how we can tap into our experiential intelligence.

 

If you ask questions that are meaningful to people, you create connection and insight and opportunities for development. -Soren Kaplan
