Is your IQ important?
I would be surprised if any of you answered ‘yes’ for these questions.

Find a quiet place, close your eyes* and take a dive in to the world of Emotional Intelligence as applied to Dentistry:
*not while driving!!
We discuss:
- How important is luck in your life and career
- What is emotional intelligence and what tangible examples can Richard provide relevant to Dentistry?
- Why does high emotional intelligence mean more ‘successful’ and even higher earning Dentists?
- Are you born with Emotional Intelligence, or can you improve your EQ?
- Why is Emotional Intelligence important for Dentists, Dental Therapists and the entire dental team?
