Emotional intelligence is the other kind of intelligence. It's that something we all have inside of us. It's intangible, but we recognize it when we see it, or feel it, in other people, even if we can't precisely identify it. The amount of emotional intelligence we possess affects every part of our lives, from our relationships to our jobs to our health.

Presence is something we all have, but it's not something we all have ready access to. It comes from believing in ourselves and trusting ourselves. It comes from assigning value to our feelings, values, and abilities. Other people notice it when we have it - whether we're having dinner with friends, going on a first date, interviewing for a job, pitching a product, negotiating a raise, or speaking in front of a group of thousands. When we can speak up in a way that is authentic and poised, we have presence. Presence, in all of these situations, is power.

The idea was to go see some of the world's rare life forms before they disappeared from the planet, and to do it before the kids themselves would grow up and chart their own paths.
