Financial Advisors Discovering New Ways To Relate To Today’s Stressed-out Customers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) October 12, 2011 -- (Minneapolis, Minnesota) While economic conditions are bringing financial planning to new levels of scrutiny, Financial Planners are turning to new forms of training to better understand their clients. Many are discovering that EQ (emotional intelligence) improves a Financial Advisor’s ability to stay resilient in today’s turbulent times.

As Sherry McDonald, Principal at Minneapolis-based Optimal points out,”emotional intelligence or EQ is the number one competency most correlated with success. In fact, there is no correlation between IQ and success.”

Sherry continues, “It all starts with emotional awareness. Not paying attention and not developing your emotional intelligence will leave you in the “freeze mode” where you are unable to act in a manner that attracts clients and builds trust to better foster working relationships. Being in the freeze mode will also affect your ability to make effective decisions.”

To help Financial Advisors learn more about the essential links between emotional intelligence, the brain science behind leadership coaching and success, Optimal has created a free short video hosted on You Tube.
