Handling a difficult communication, dealing with stress, or facing a challenging situation are common scenarios in life that we often face in work and life. All such situations fall under the category of Emotional Quotient.

A wise idea is to develop a short-long term working on self development. This can be done by taking a short term course to bank on your strengths and to look in to ideas to develop them- as this will be a less time consuming process because you already stand higher on the scale. And eventually pick up the weaker points and put in more time, considering it a long-term process of self investment and development.
