I am not knowledgeable nor keen on politics in general, not to mention French politics. However, the emotional intelligence of the front-running presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron caught my attention.
It was reported that (I did not watch the debate) he managed to stay very focused and calm at the crucial presidential multiple-way public debate a few weeks ago running into the first round of election though he had the least media training among the participants. More recently (actually last Wednesday), the other candidate Le Pen was trying to ambush him at his visit to a closing appliance factory. Again he kept a cool head and shook hand with all the workers there instead of having a head-on collision with the opposition.
I would be most proud if I were his life coach :> The way to go Macron!
