In this episode of Impetus Digital‘s Fireside Chat, I sat down with Emma Lynch, Founder of EQ Vibration & Quadrant 2 Medical. We explored a number of interesting topics related to Medical Affairs. Among many other things, we discussed the importance of emotional intelligence, patient-centric solutions, and adopting a growth mindset.
Here is a sneak peek of our conversation:
Q: Let’s talk about emotional intelligence. Tell us a little bit about what that means and how people can learn more about emotional intelligence?
A: I came to emotional intelligence because I suppose I felt I wasn’t as effective as I could be. I have a lot of knowledge and IQ that kind of built up over the years in a certain niche area and I wanted to become more effective.

I had so much excitement and it really helped me align with what the healthcare professional wants and what the patient needed, and with what really excited me.
It comes back to the core of, do you know how to engage with your own emotions? I have gone down the college/academic road. My mind was sharpened for clarity on concepts and how to apply concepts, data, and statistics. My mind was sharp in thinking, but I realized I was massively living in my head and applying concepts but not really connecting my mind-body experience. Once I began to make that connection between the two and began to really tap into the heaviness or the lower vibrational energies of my emotions, I began to realize that they are trying to teach me something.
