ERQ stands for Emotional and Relational Intelligence. Emotional intelligence (EQ) has been around for over 20 years and focuses on four key emotional areas: emotional awareness, emotional expression, emotional management and anger management. Studies have found that people with a high EQ tend to be more happy and are more liked and successful.

RQ stands for Relational Intelligence and there are four key relationship skills which are: communication, conflict resolution, cohesion (closeness) and change (flexibility). These skills have also been studied for over 20 years. The finding is that people with these relationship skills tend to have more happy relationships with others.

What is unique is that combining these two major skill areas into ERQ enhances the power of both EQ and RQ.
