Join me in our latest episode as we explore the power of collaboration and inclusion in achieving success. My guest is Faris Aranki, a London-based strategy and emotional intelligence expert who has carved out a niche in helping companies improve team collaboration. His belief in emotional intelligence as a cornerstone of successful strategy, both in business and personal life, is informed by his extensive experience conducting global training sessions. He stresses the importance of leaders harnessing emotional intelligence to connect with their teams, inspire them, and build buy-in for goals or ideas.

Drawing on his observation and communication skills, Faris also underscores the significance of the Focus Quotient (FQ) in conjunction with IQ and EQ as critical attributes for achieving success. His unique perspective on emotional intelligence is continually shared through diverse platforms, including LinkedIn, a weekly blog, and various podcasts.

Quote: Generation plays a role in the same way that different cultures play a role. The more you can understand the point of view that somebody else is coming from and, you know, walk in their shoes and understand it, then the better you will be on that emotional intelligence." - Faris Aranki
