You’ll increase your performance if you use these six strengths more fully and effectively. You can also develop additional Apps. Grounded in research, these competencies are essential to flourish in complex times – at work, in school, in life:
What is a Brain App?
Your brain has certain capabilities. We use the metaphor of a smartphone App: a Brain App is like a tool for your brain. What are your brain’s key competencies? Are you using those fully?
“Brain Apps” are not necessarily behaviors. “App” is a metaphor to describe capability. They describe capabilities that you can use. What does your brain like to do? What functions are easy and smooth for your brain?
What’s the link between Brain Talents and Emotional Intelligence?
These talents are not the same as emotional intelligence (EQ), but they all include elements of EQ. When you use your Brain Talents, you’ll be applying your EQ to assist you — and strengthening your EQ.
