Stress management

In IT, IQ alone isn't enough. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the key skill for project managers to handle stress, support change, and align teams. Unlike IQ, EQ can be learned and improved at any age. Through feedback and cognitive regulation exercises, developing EQ allows for both project success and personal well-being.

Being a project manager means managing stress. I learned to face it not as an enemy, but as an ally. By delegating, setting boundaries, and finding ways to decompress, I transformed suffering into a driver of performance and credibility.
