As a high-achieving professional, you understand the critical importance of skills like logical reasoning and technical know-how, especially in fields like engineering. These are the cornerstones of problem-solving and innovation.
Yet, there’s another skill just as vital, yet not as visibly celebrated: emotional intelligence (EI).

The journey of an engineer is often perceived as a linear path: acquire a degree, land a technical role, and then climb the corporate ladder within the engineering sphere.
