Dr. Margareta Sjölund: Exploring Emotional Intelligence

Jul 19, 2022

My guest today is Dr. Margareta Sjölund.

Margareta is the founder and Chief Psychologist of EQ Europe and Kandidata Asia.

She is an internationally recognized expert and pioneer in field of Emotional Intelligence and has worked with many organizations in the US, Europe and Asia.

She is a licensed psychologist in Sweden with her PhD in psychology from the University of Illinois, Chicago. Margareta lived and worked more than twenty years in the U.S. as a psychologist, chief recruiter and HR consultant.  She is a regular speaker on the topic of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in Asia, Europe - and beyond.

I first met Margareta 10 years ago when I moved to the Philippines.  I had the privilege of learning from Margareta and partnering with her company for many projects helping organizations develop their leaders’ emotional intelligence.

In keeping with the theme of this podcast and my work, when I think back on those early years as an expat, working to establish myself as a coach, and build my business, connecting with Margareta and her late husband, Per, made that time in life less difficult.  

I’m grateful to be able to share this conversation with you today.  Thank you, Margareta, for continuing to share your knowledge, wisdom, and experience.  And thank you for inspiring us to keep making a difference in our world, developing our emotional intelligence skills, and building a strong and bright future!
