Being a good conversationalist is a bit of an art form.
And the trait usually goes hand-in-hand with high emotional intelligence.
By definition, emotional intelligence is the ability to understand, use and manage your emotions in a way that helps you communicate effectively, empathize with others, and diffuse conflict.
Therefore, it makes sense that people who are considered good at conversation are also emotionally intelligent.
I’m sure we’ve all had a discussion with someone where we thought, “Eesh, you probably shouldn’t have said that!”
Even though everyone says the wrong thing on occasion, it’s not something emotionally intelligent people do all that often.
Want to know if you’re emotionally intelligent in your conversations?
