“No matter the situation, never let your emotions overpower your intelligence.”

This area was a true weakness of mine; I used to allow my emotions to overpower every decision I made, causing me to become blind to what was in front of me and around me. Leading with my emotions caused me to lose out on myself, ruin partnerships and relationships with people as well as good opportunities.

I am proud to say that I have worked very hard and succeeded to make emotional intelligence my strength.

Today, many are a witness to my intelligence superseding my emotions which has allowed me to live the life I truly desire, while developing healthier relationships with others.
