AI-revolution or not, I’m a firm believer that EQ is both innate and can be learned, which I why I enjoy supporting and challenging my high performing clients in their social agility. Empathy, listening, body language, emotional regulation, focus, etc. are just a few components to strong social skills that you must pay attention to in order to de-risk your career in light of AI innovation. All in all, continue upskilling yourself certainly in your hard skills but especially in your soft skills.
